LEARN
Learns a sequence of keystrokes and remembers them as a single key. The
sequence can comprise commands, text, or both.
Steps:
1. Use LEARN. EVE prompts you to type the keystrokes you want
learned. You can type text, commands, or both -- including
pressing any keys already defined.
2. To end the learn sequence, press REMEMBER (the CTRL/R key).
3. At the prompt, press the key to be defined. You can press:
A function key ......... such as PF4, KP7, or F20
GOLD and another key ... such as GOLD/KP7 or GOLD/A
A control key .......... such as CTRL/N or GOLD/CTRL/A
A mouse button ......... see help on MOUSE
RETURN ................. to cancel the definition
o Your key definitions override those done by SET KEYPAD commands. For
example, if the key you use for the learn sequence is one that the EDT
or WPS keypad ordinarily defines, your definitions override the EDT or
WPS definitions.
o Key definitions remain in effect throughout your editing session or
until you redefine the key. To save key definitions for future
sessions, use SAVE EXTENDED EVE to create a section file. You cannot
put learn sequences in an initialization file.
o Learn sequences record or remember keystrokes, rather than the key
definitions at the time the sequence was created. Therefore, before
you "replay" a learn sequence, check that any keys used in the learn
sequence are defined appropriately. Otherwise, the learn sequence may
fail or not work as expected. To get a list of key definitions, use
HELP KEYS or press GOLD/HELP (on the mini keypad).
Keys: The EDT and WPS keypads define CTRL/K as LEARN. The WPS keypad
also defines GOLD/>.
