For those of you with VT100 terminals if you run in ANSII mode, the
|
||
VT100 library, which you can get via
|
||
|
||
MM Load LibraryVT100
|
||
|
||
will set up the keypad to do pretty reasonable things as follows:
|
||
|
||
(1) Keypad digits and minus are args to the next command automatically.
|
||
[Normal digits in main key area are self-inserting still].
|
||
|
||
(2) Comma will eventually be an arg separator for advanced commands that
|
||
take precomma args. I haven't coded this yet.
|
||
|
||
(3) Dot runs ^R Documentation like ^_H or Top-H would normally do.
|
||
|
||
(4) Arrows go vertically up, down, back and forth, independent of what
|
||
you define ^B,^F,^N,or ^P to do ...
|
||
|
||
(5) PF1-4 run macros you can define. They are initially undefined.
|
||
|
||
(6) Enter followed by a PF-key will read characters like the ^X(...^X) does
|
||
up until the next ^X), C-M-C, or Enter that you type. You can abort
|
||
a definition by doing ^].
|
||
|
||
Sorry for the length of the message, but hopefully this will be of interest
|
||
to enough of you to make it worthwhile.
|
||
|
||
Interestingly enuf, this will not work on AI. No, I am not boycotting -- I
|
||
just don't know what the new Emacs over there has done and I am nearly sure
|
||
that my stuff is wholely incompatible at this point ... when the new emacs
|
||
works its way back over to MC (which is happening slowly now), I will work
|
||
on an all-ITS compatible version of the handler.
