SET GOLD KEY
Defines a key as the GOLD key for use with other keys, and enables some
GOLD key sequences. You can type the key name on the command line or let
EVE prompt you to press the key you want to set as GOLD.
Example:
The following commands set PF1 as the GOLD key, and then define the
sequence of GOLD and the letter C or c as CENTER LINE. Typing the
letter by itself still enters that character.
Command: SET GOLD KEY pf1
Command: DEFINE KEY= gold-c center line
Usage notes:
o Setting the GOLD key---by itself or by setting the EDT or WPS keypad---
automatically defines some GOLD sequences for the arrow keys, mini
keypad, HELP, and F13. For a list of the default GOLD key sequences,
see help on Gold Keys.
o You can have only one key set as GOLD at a time. Setting the EDT or
WPS keypad makes PF1 the GOLD key, overriding any current definition of
PF1. However, if you set a different key as the GOLD key, then the EDT
or WPS keypad uses your GOLD key. In such case, SET NOGOLD KEY
restores PF1 as the EDT or WPS GOLD key.
o SET GOLD KEY overrides any current definition of the specified key,
whether EVE default, EDT, WPS, or your own. The definition remains in
effect throughout your editing session or until you change it.
o To save your GOLD key and other key definitions for future editing
sessions, use SAVE EXTENDED EVE or SAVE ATTRIBUTES to create a section
file. Alternatively, put SET GOLD KEY and other key definitions in an
initialization file (typically, EVE$INIT.EVE).
