30 I. OVERVIEW:
|
|
31
|
|
32 This version of the EDT emulation package for GNU Emacs is a substantially
|
|
33 enhanced version of the original. A large part of the original can still be
|
|
34 found here, of course, but much of it has been modified and quite a bit is
|
|
35 new. Many of the ideas found here are borrowed from others. In particular,
|
|
36 some of the code found here was drawn from an earlier re-write of the EDT
|
|
37 package done at DSC in 1989 by Matthew Frohman.
|
|
38
|
|
39 Send bug fixes, suggestions for enhancements, and corrections to this
|
|
40 documentation to Kevin Gallagher (kevingal@onramp.net).
|
|
41
|
|
42 The EDT emulation consists of the following files:
|
|
43
|
|
44 edt-user.doc - User instructions (which you are reading now)
|
|
45 edt.el - EDT Emulation Functions and Default Configuration
|
|
46 edt-lk201.el - Support for DEC LK-201 Keyboards
|
|
47 edt-vt100.el - Support for DEC VT-100 (and above) terminals
|
|
48 edt-mapper.el - Support for Keyboards used under X Windows
|
|
49 edt-pc.el - Support for the PC AT Keyboard under MS-DOS
|
|
50
|
|
51 Several goals were kept in mind when making this version:
|
|
52
|
|
53 1. Emulate EDT Keypad Mode commands closely so that current
|
|
54 EDT users will find that it easy and comfortable to use
|
|
55 GNU Emacs with a small learning curve;
|
|
56
|
|
57 2. Make it easy for a user to customize EDT emulation key
|
|
58 bindings without knowing much about Emacs Lisp;
|
|
59
|
|
60 3. Make it easy to switch between the original EDT default bindings
|
|
61 and the user's customized bindings, without having to exit Emacs.
|
|
62
|
|
63 4. Provide support for some TPU/EVE functions not supported in
|
|
64 EDT.
|
|
65
|
|
66 5. Provide an easy way to restore ALL original Emacs key bindings,
|
|
67 just as they existed before the EDT emulation was first invoked.
|
|
68
|
|
69 6. Support GNU Emacs 19. (Support for GNU Emacs 18 has been dropped.
|
|
70 Also, although there is some code designed to support Xemacs 19
|
|
71 (formerly Lucid Emacs), this is not fully implemented at this
|
|
72 time.
|
|
73
|
|
74 7. When running under X, support highlighting of marked text.
|
|
75
|
|
76 8. Handle terminal configuration under X interactively when the
|
|
77 emulation is invoked for the first time.
|
|
78
|
|
79 9. Support a PC AT keyboard under MS-DOS.
|
|
80
|
|
81 II. TERMINALS/KEYBOARDS SUPPORTED:
|
|
82
|
|
83 Keyboards used under X Windows are supported via the edt-mapper function. The
|
|
84 first time you invoke the emulation under X, the edt-mapper function is run
|
|
85 automatically and the user is prompted to identify which keys the emulation is
|
|
86 to use for the standard keypad and function keys EDT expects (e.g., PF1, PF2,
|
|
87 etc.). This configuration is saved to disk read each time the emulation is
|
|
88 invoked.
|
|
89
|
|
90 In character oriented connections not running a window manager, the following
|
|
91 terminals/keyboards are supported. (1) DEC VT-100 series and higher. This
|
|
92 includes well behaved VT clones and emulators. If you are using a VT series
|
|
93 terminal, be sure that the term environment variable is set properly before
|
|
94 invoking emacs. (2) PC AT keyboard under MS-DOS.
|
|
95
|
|
96 Be sure to read the SPECIAL NOTES FOR SOME PLATFORMS sections to see if those
|
|
97 notes apply to you.
|
|
98
|
|
99
|
|
100 III. STARTING THE EDT EMULATION:
|
|
101
|
|
102 Start up GNU Emacs and enter "M-x edt-emulation-on" to begin the emulation.
|
|
103 After initialization is complete, the following message will appear below the
|
|
104 status line informing you that the emulation has been enabled:
|
|
105
|
|
106 Default EDT keymap active
|
|
107
|
|
108 You can have the EDT Emulation start up automatically, each time you initiate
|
|
109 a GNU Emacs session, by adding the following line to your .emacs file:
|
|
110
|
|
111 (setq term-setup-hook 'edt-emulation-on)
|
|
112
|
|
113 A reference sheet is included (later on) listing the default EDT Emulation key
|
|
114 bindings. This sheet is also accessible on line from within Emacs by pressing
|
|
115 PF2, GOLD H, or HELP (when in the EDT Default Mode).
|
|
116
|
|
117 It is easy to customize key bindings in the EDT Emulation. (See CUSTOMIZING
|
|
118 section, below.) Customizations are placed in a file called edt-user.el. (A
|
|
119 sample edt-user.el file can be found in the CUSTOMIZING section.) If
|
|
120 edt-user.el is found in your GNU Emacs load path during EDT Emulation
|
|
121 initialization, then the following message will appear below the status line
|
|
122 indicating that the emulation has been enabled, enhanced by your own
|
|
123 customizations:
|
|
124
|
|
125 User EDT custom keymap active
|
|
126
|
|
127 Once enabled, it is easy to switch back and forth between your customized EDT
|
|
128 Emulation key bindings and the default EDT Emulation key bindings. It is also
|
|
129 easy to turn off the emulation. Doing so completely restores the original key
|
|
130 bindings in effect just prior to invoking the emulation.
|
|
131
|
|
132 Where EDT key bindings and GNU Emacs key bindings conflict, the default GNU
|
|
133 Emacs key bindings are retained by the EDT emulation by default. If you are a
|
|
134 diehard EDT user you may not like this. The CUSTOMIZING section explains how
|
|
135 to change this default.
|
|
136
|
|
137
|
|
138 IV. SPECIAL NOTES FOR SOME PLATFORMS:
|
|
139
|
|
140 Sun Workstations running X:
|
|
141
|
|
142 Some earlier Sun keyboards do not have arrow keys separate from the
|
|
143 keypad keys. It is difficult to emulate the full EDT keypad and still
|
|
144 retain use of the arrow keys on such keyboards.
|
|
145
|
|
146 The Sun Type 5 keyboard, however, does have separate arrow keys. This
|
|
147 makes it a candidate for setting up a reasonable EDT keypad emulation.
|
|
148 Unfortunately, Sun's default X keynames for the keypad keys don't permit
|
|
149 GNU Emacs to interpret the keypad 2, 4, 6, and 8 keys as something other
|
|
150 than arrow keys, nor use all the top row of keys for PF1 thru PF4 keys.
|
|
151 Here's the contents of an .xmodmaprc file which corrects this problem for
|
|
152 Sun Type 5 keyboards:
|
|
153
|
|
154 ! File: .xmodmaprc
|
|
155 !
|
|
156 ! Set up Sun Type 5 keypad for use with the GNU Emacs EDT Emulation
|
|
157 !
|
|
158 keycode 53 = KP_Divide
|
|
159 keycode 54 = KP_Multiply
|
|
160 keycode 57 = KP_Decimal
|
|
161 keycode 75 = KP_7
|
|
162 keycode 76 = KP_8
|
|
163 keycode 77 = KP_9
|
|
164 keycode 78 = KP_Subtract
|
|
165 keycode 97 = KP_Enter
|
|
166 keycode 98 = KP_4
|
|
167 keycode 99 = KP_5
|
|
168 keycode 100 = KP_6
|
|
169 keycode 101 = KP_0
|
|
170 keycode 105 = F24
|
|
171 keycode 119 = KP_1
|
|
172 keycode 120 = KP_2
|
|
173 keycode 121 = KP_3
|
|
174 keycode 132 = KP_Add
|
|
175
|
|
176 Feed .xmodmaprc to the xmodmap command and all the Sun Type 5 keypad keys
|
|
177 will now be configurable for the emulation of an LK-201 keypad (less the
|
|
178 comma key). The line
|
|
179
|
|
180 keycode 105 = F24
|
|
181
|
|
182 modifies the NumLock key to be the F24 key which can then be configured
|
|
183 to behave as the PF1 (Gold) key. In doing so, you will no longer
|
|
184 have a NumLock key. If you are using other software under X
|
|
185 which requires a NumLock key, then examine your keyboard and look
|
|
186 for one you don't use and redefine it to be the NumLock key.
|
|
187 Basically, you need to clear the NumLock key from being assigned
|
|
188 as a modifier, assign it to the key of your choice, and then add
|
|
189 it back as a modifier. (See the "General Notes on Using NumLock
|
|
190 for the PF1 Key on a Unix System" section below for further help
|
|
191 on how to do this.)
|
|
192
|
|
193 PC users running MS-DOS:
|
|
194
|
|
195 By default, F1 is configured to emulate the PF1 (GOLD) key. But NumLock
|
|
196 can be used instead if you load a freeware TSR distributed with
|
|
197 MS-Kermit, call gold.com. It is distributed in a file called gold22.zip
|
|
198 and comes with the source code as well as a loadable binary image.
|
|
199 (See edt-pc.el for more information.)
|
|
200
|
|
201 PC users running GNU/Linux:
|
|
202
|
|
203 The default X server configuration of three keys PC AT keyboard keys
|
|
204 needs to be modified to permit the PC keyboard to emulate an LK-201
|
|
205 keyboard properly. Here's the contents of an .xmodmaprc file which makes
|
|
206 these changes for your:
|
|
207
|
|
208 ! File: .xmodmaprc
|
|
209 !
|
|
210 ! Set up PC keypad under GNU/Linux for the GNU Emacs EDT Emulation
|
|
211 !
|
|
212 clear mod2
|
|
213 keycode 77 = F12
|
|
214 keycode 96 = Num_Lock Pointer_EnableKeys
|
|
215 add mod2 = Num_Lock
|
|
216
|
|
217 Feed the file to the xmodmap command and the PC NumLock keypad
|
|
218 key will now be configurable for the emulation of the PF1 key.
|
|
219 The PC keypad can now emulate an LK-201 keypad (less the comma
|
|
220 key), the standard keyboard supplied with DEC terminals VT-200 and above.
|
|
221 This .xmodmaprc file switches the role of the F12 and NumLock
|
|
222 keys. It has been tested on RedHat GNU/Linux 5.2. Other
|
|
223 versions of GNU/Linux may require different keycodes. (See the
|
|
224 "General Notes on Using NumLock for the PF1 Key on a Unix System"
|
|
225 section below for further help on how to do this.)
|
|
226
|
|
227 NOTE: It is necessary to have NumLock ON for the PC keypad to emulate the
|
|
228 LK-201 keypad properly.
|
|
229
|
|
230 General Notes on Using NumLock for the PF1 Key on a Unix System:
|
|
231
|
|
232 Making the physical NumLock key available for use in the EDT
|
|
233 Emulation requires some modification to the default X Window
|
|
234 settings. Since the keycode assignments vary from system to
|
|
235 system, some investigation is needed to see how to do this on
|
|
236 a particular system.
|
|
237
|
|
238 The following commands should be run and the output examined.
|
|
239 On RedHat GNU/Linux 5.2 on a PC, we get the following output when
|
|
240 running xmodmap.
|
|
241
|
|
242 "xmodmap -pm" yields:
|
|
243
|
|
244 xmodmap: up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
|
|
245
|
|
246 shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
|
|
247 lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
|
|
248 control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d)
|
|
249 mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x71)
|
|
250 mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
|
|
251 mod3
|
|
252 mod4
|
|
253 mod5 Scroll_Lock (0x4e)
|
|
254
|
|
255
|
|
256 Note that Num_Lock is assigned to the modifier mod2. This is
|
|
257 what hides Num_Lock from being seen by Emacs.
|
|
258
|
|
259 Now, "xmodmap -pke" yields:
|
|
260
|
|
261 .
|
|
262 .
|
|
263 .
|
|
264 keycode 77 = Num_Lock Pointer_EnableKeys
|
|
265 .
|
|
266 .
|
|
267 .
|
|
268 keycode 96 = F12
|
|
269 .
|
|
270 .
|
|
271 .
|
|
272
|
|
273 So, in RedHat GNU/Linux 5.2 on a PC, Num_Lock generates keycode
|
|
274 77. The following steps are taken:
|
|
275
|
|
276 1. clear the assignment of Num_Lock to mod2;
|
|
277 2. swap the keycodes assigned to F12 and Num_Lock;
|
|
278 3. assign Num_Lock back to mod2.
|
|
279
|
|
280 The .xmodmaprc file looks like this:
|
|
281
|
|
282 ! File: .xmodmaprc
|
|
283 !
|
|
284 ! Set up PC keypad under GNU/Linux for the GNU Emacs EDT Emulation
|
|
285 !
|
|
286 clear mod2
|
|
287 keycode 77 = F12
|
|
288 keycode 96 = Num_Lock Pointer_EnableKeys
|
|
289 add mod2 = Num_Lock
|
|
290
|
|
291 So, after executing "xmodmap .xmodmaprc", a press of the physical
|
|
292 F12 key looks like a Num_Lock keypress to X. Also, a press of the
|
|
293 physical NumLock key looks like a press of the F12 key to X.
|
|
294
|
|
295 Now, edt-mapper.el will see "f12" when the physical NumLock key
|
|
296 is pressed, allowing the NumLock key to be used as the EDT PF1
|
|
297 (Gold) key.
|
|
298
|
|
299 V. HOW DOES THIS EDT EMULATION DIFFER FROM REAL EDT?:
|
|
300
|
|
301 In general, you will find that this emulation of EDT replicates most, but not
|
|
302 all, of EDT's most used Keypad Mode editing functions and behavior. It is not
|
|
303 perfect, but most EDT users who have tried the emulation agree that it is
|
|
304 quite good enough to make it easy for die-hard EDT users to move over to using
|
|
305 GNU Emacs.
|
|
306
|
|
307 Here's a list of the most important differences between EDT and this GNU Emacs
|
|
308 EDT Emulation. The list is short but you must be aware of these differences
|
|
309 if you are to use the EDT Emulation effectively.
|
|
310
|
|
311 1. Entering repeat counts works a little differently than in EDT.
|
|
312
|
|
313 EDT allows users to enter a repeat count before entering a command that
|
|
314 accepts repeat counts. For example, when in EDT, pressing these three
|
|
315 keys in sequence, GOLD 5 KP1, will move the cursor in the current
|
|
316 direction 5 words.
|
|
317
|
|
318 Emacs provides two ways to enter repeat counts, though neither involves
|
|
319 using the GOLD key. In Emacs, repeat counts can be entered by using the
|
|
320 ESC key. For example, pressing these keys in sequence, ESC 1 0 KP1, will
|
|
321 move the cursor in the current direction 10 words.
|
|
322
|
|
323 Emacs provides another command called universal-argument that can do the
|
|
324 same thing, plus a few other things. Normally, Emacs has this bound to
|
|
325 C-u.
|
|
326
|
|
327 2. The EDT SUBS command, bound to GOLD ENTER, is NOT supported. The built-in
|
|
328 Emacs query-replace command has been bound to GOLD ENTER, instead. It is
|
|
329 much more convenient to use than SUBS.
|
|
330
|
|
331 3. EDT's line mode commands and nokeypad mode commands are NOT supported
|
|
332 (with one important exception; see item 8 in the Highlights section
|
|
333 below). Although, at first, this may seem like a big omission, the set of
|
|
334 built-in Emacs commands provides a much richer set of capabilities which
|
|
335 more than make up for this omission.
|
|
336
|
|
337 To enter Emacs commands not bound to keys, you can press GOLD KP7 or the
|
|
338 DO key. Emacs will display its own command prompt called Meta-x (M-x).
|
|
339 You can also invoke this prompt the normal Emacs way by entering ESC x.
|
|
340
|
|
341 4. Selected text is highlighted ONLY when running under X Windows. Gnu Emacs
|
|
342 19 does not support highlighting of text on VT series terminals, at this
|
|
343 time.
|
|
344
|
|
345 5. Just like TPU/EVE, The ENTER key is NOT used to terminate input when the
|
|
346 editor prompts you for input. The RETURN key is used, instead. (KP4 and
|
|
347 KP5 do terminate input for the FIND command, just like in EDT, however.)
|
|
348
|
|
349
|
|
350
|
|
351
|
|
352 VI. SOME HIGHLIGHTS IN THIS EDT EMULATION, AND SOME COMPARISONS TO THE
|
|
353 ORIGINAL GNU EMACS EDT EMULATION:
|
|
354
|
|
355 1. The EDT define key command is supported (edt-define-key) and is bound to
|
|
356 C-k in the default EDT mode when EDT control sequence bindings are enabled
|
|
357 or one of the sample edt-user.el customization files is used. The TPU/EVE
|
|
358 learn command is supported but not bound to a key in the default EDT mode
|
|
359 but is bound in the sample edt-user.el files.
|
|
360
|
|
361 Unlike the TPU/EVE learn command, which uses one key to begin the learn
|
|
362 sequence, C-l, and another command to remember the sequence, C-r, this
|
|
363 version of the learn command (edt-learn) serves as a toggle to both begin
|
|
364 and to remember the learn sequence.
|
|
365
|
|
366 Many users who change the meaning of a key with the define key and the
|
|
367 learn commands, would like to be able to restore the original key binding
|
|
368 without having to quit and restart emacs. So a restore key command is
|
|
369 provided to do just that. When invoked, it prompts you to press the key
|
|
370 to which you wish the last replaced key definition restored. It is bound
|
|
371 to GOLD C-k in the default EDT mode when EDT control sequence bindings are
|
|
372 enabled or one of the sample edt-user.el customization files is used.
|
|
373
|
|
374 2. Direction support is fully supported. It is no longer accomplished by
|
|
375 re-defining keys each time the direction is changed. Thus, commands
|
|
376 sensitive to the current direction setting may be bound easily to any key.
|
|
377
|
|
378 3. All original emacs bindings are fully restored when EDT emulation is
|
|
379 turned off.
|
|
380
|
|
381 4. User custom EDT bindings are kept separate from the default EDT bindings.
|
|
382 One can toggle back and forth between the custom EDT bindings and default
|
|
383 EDT bindings.
|
|

|
|
385 5. The Emacs functions in edt.el attempt to emulate, where practical, the
|
|
386 exact behavior of the corresponding EDT keypad mode commands. In a few
|
|
387 cases, the emulation is not exact, but we hope you will agree it is close
|
|
388 enough. In a very few cases, we chose to use the Emacs way of handling
|
|
389 things. As mentioned earlier, we do not emulate the EDT SUBS command.
|
|
390 Instead, we chose to use the Emacs query-replace function, which we find
|
|
391 to be easier to use.
|
|
392
|
|
393 6. Emacs uses the regexp assigned to page-delimiter to determine what marks a
|
|
394 page break. This is normally "^\f", which causes the edt-page command to
|
|
395 ignore form feeds not located at the beginning of a line. To emulate the
|
|
396 EDT PAGE command exactly, page-delimiter is set to "\f" when EDT emulation
|
|
397 is turned on, and restored to "^\f" when EDT emulation is turned off.
|
|
398 But, since some users prefer the Emacs definition of a page break, or may
|
|
399 wish to preserve a customized definition of page break, one can override
|
|
400 the EDT definition by placing
|
|
401
|
|
402 (setq edt-keep-current-page-delimiter t)
|
|
403
|
|
404 in your .emacs file.
|
|
405
|
|
406 7. The EDT definition of a section of a terminal window is hardwired to be 16
|
|
407 lines of its one-and-only 24-line window (the EDT SECT command bound to
|
|
408 KP8). That's two-thirds of the window at a time. Since Emacs, like
|
|
409 TPU/EVE, can handle multiple windows of sizes of other than 24 lines, the
|
|
410 definition of section used here has been modified to two-thirds of the
|
|
411 current window. (There is also an edt-scroll-window function which you
|
|
412 may prefer over the SECT emulation.)
|
|
413
|
|
414 8. Cursor movement and deletion involving word entities is identical to EDT.
|
|
415 This, above all else, gives the die-hard EDT user a sense of being at
|
|
416 home. Also, an emulation of EDT's SET ENTITY WORD command is provided,
|
|
417 for those users who like to customize movement by a word at a time to
|
|
418 their own liking.
|
|
419
|
|
420 9. EDT's FIND and FNDNXT are supported.
|
|
421
|
|
422 10. EDT's APPEND and REPLACE commands are supported.
|
|
423
|
|
424 11. CHNGCASE is supported. It works on individual characters or selected
|
|
425 text, if SELECT is active. In addition, two new commands are provided:
|
|
426 edt-lowercase and edt-uppercase. They work on individual WORDS or
|
|
427 selected text, if SELECT is active.
|
|
428
|
|
429 12. Form feed and tab insert commands are supported.
|
|
430
|
|
431 13. A new command, edt-duplicate-word, is provided. If you experiment with
|
|
432 it, you might find it to be surprisingly useful and may wonder how you
|
|
433 ever got along without it! It is assigned to C-j in the sample
|
|
434 edt-user.el customization files.
|
|
435
|
|
436 14. TPU/EVE's Rectangular Cut and Paste functions (originally from the EVE-Plus
|
|
437 package) are supported. But unlike the TPU/EVE versions, these here
|
|
438 support both insert and overwrite modes. The seven rectangular functions
|
|
439 are bound to F7, F8, GOLD-F8, F9, GOLD-F9, F10, and GOLD-F10 in the
|
|
440 default EDT mode.
|
|
441
|
|
442 15. The original EDT emulation package set up many default regular and GOLD
|
|
443 bindings. We tried to preserve most (but not all!) of these, so users of
|
|
444 the original emulation package will feel more at home.
|
|
445
|
|
446 Nevertheless, there are still many GOLD key sequences which are not bound
|
|
447 to any functions. These are prime candidates to use for your own
|
|
448 customizations.
|
|
449
|
|
450 Also, there are several commands in edt.el not bound to any key. So, you
|
|
451 will find it worthwhile to look through edt.el for functions you may wish
|
|
452 to add to your personal customized bindings.
|
|
453
|
|
454 16. The VT200/VT300 series terminals steal the function keys F1 to F5 for
|
|
455 their own use. These do not generate signals which are sent to the host.
|
|
456 So, edt.el does not assign any default bindings to F1 through F5.
|
|
457
|
|
458 In addition, our VT220 terminals generate an interrupt when the F6 key is
|
|
459 pressed (^C or ^Y, can't remember which) and not the character sequence
|
|
460 documented in the manual. So, binding emacs commands to F6 will not work
|
|
461 if your terminal behaves the same way.
|
|
462
|
|
463 17. The VT220 terminal has no ESC, BS, nor LF keys, as does a VT100. So the
|
|
464 default EDT bindings adopt the standard DEC convention of having the F11,
|
|
465 F12, and F13 keys, on a VT200 series (and above) terminal, assigned to the
|
|
466 same EDT functions that are bound to ESC, BS, and LF on a VT100 terminal.
|
|
467
|
|
468 18. Each user, through the use of a private edt-user.el file, can customize,
|
|
469 very easily, personal EDT emulation bindings.
|
|
470
|
|
471 19. The EDT SELECT and RESET functions are supported. However, unlike EDT,
|
|
472 pressing RESET to cancel text selection does NOT reset the existing
|
|
473 setting of the current direction.
|
|
474
|
|
475 We also provide a TPU/EVE like version of the single SELECT/RESET
|
|
476 function, called edt-toggle-select, which makes the EDT SELECT function
|
|
477 into a toggle on/off switch. That is, if selection is ON, pressing SELECT
|
|
478 again turns selection off (cancels selection). This function is used in
|
|
479 the sample edt-user.el customization files.
|
|
480
|
|
481
|
|
482 VII. CUSTOMIZING:
|
|
483
|
|
484 Most EDT users, at one time or another, make some custom key bindings, or
|
|
485 use someone else's custom key bindings, which they come to depend upon just as
|
|
486 if they were built-in bindings. This EDT Emulation for GNU Emacs is designed
|
|
487 to make it easy to customize bindings.
|
|
488
|
|
489 If you wish to customize the EDT Emulation to use some of your own key
|
|
490 bindings, you need to make a private version of edt-user.el in your own
|
|
491 private lisp directory. There are two sample files edt-user.el1 and
|
|
492 edt-user.el2 for you to use as templates and for ideas. Look at
|
|
493 edt-user.el1 first. Unless you will be using two or more very different
|
|
494 types of terminals on the same system, you need not look at edt-user.el2.
|
|
495
|
|
496 First, you need to have your own private lisp directory, say ~/lisp, and
|
|
497 you should add it to the GNU Emacs load path.
|
|
498
|
|
499 NOTE: A few sites have different load-path requirements, so the above
|
|
500 directions may need some modification if your site has such special
|
|
501 needs.
|
|
502
|
|
503
|
|
504 Creating your own edt-user.el file:
|
|
505
|
|
506 A sample edt-user.el file is attached to the end of this user documentation.
|
|
507 You should use it as a guide to learn how you can customize EDT emulation
|
|
508 bindings to your own liking. Names used to identify the set of LK-201
|
|
509 keypad and function keys are:
|
|
510
|
|
511 Keypad Keys:
|
|
512 PF1 PF2 PF3 PF4
|
|
513 KP7 KP8 KP9 KP-
|
|
514 KP4 KP5 KP6 KP,
|

525 FIND INSERT REMOVE
|
|
526 SELECT PREVIOUS NEXT
|
|
527
|
|
528 Note:
|
|
529 Many VT-200 terminals, and above, steal function keys F1 thru
|
|
530 F5 for terminal setup control and don't send anything to the
|
|
531 host if pressed. So customizing bindings to these keys may
|
|
532 not work for you.
|
|
533
|
|
534 There are three basic functions that do the EDT emulation bindings:
|
|
535 edt-bind-standard-key, edt-bind-gold-key, and edt-bind-function-key.
|
|
536
|
|
537 The first two are for binding functions to keys which are standard across most
|
|
538 keyboards. This makes them keyboard independent, making it possible to define
|
|
539 these key bindings for all terminals in the file edt.el.
|
|
540
|
|
541 The first, edt-bind-standard-key, is used typically to bind emacs commands to
|
|
542 control keys, although some people use it to bind commands to other keys, as
|
|
543 well. (For example, some people use it to bind the VT200 seldom used
|
|
544 back-tick key (`) to the function "ESC-prefix" so it will behave like an ESC
|
|
545 key.) The second function, edt-bind-gold-key, is used to bind emacs commands
|
|
546 to gold key sequences involving alpha-numeric keys, special character keys,
|
|
547 and control keys.
|
|
548
|
|
549 The third function, edt-bind-function-key, is terminal dependent and is
|
|
550 defined in a terminal specific file (see edt-vt100.el for example). It is
|
|
551 used to bind emacs commands to function keys, to keypad keys, and to gold
|
|
552 sequences of those keys.
|
|
553
|
|
554 WARNING: Each of the three functions, edt-bind-function-key,
|
|
555 edt-bind-gold-key, and edt-bind-standard-key, has an optional
|
|
556 last argument. The optional argument should NOT be used in
|
|
557 edt-user.el! When the optional argument is missing, each
|
|
558 function knows to make the key binding part of the user's EDT
|
|
559 custom bindings, which is what you want to do in edt-user.el!
|
|
560
|
|
561 The EDT default bindings are set up in edt.el by calling these
|
|
562 same functions with the optional last argument set to "t". So, if
|
|
563 you decide to copy such function calls from edt.el to edt-user.el
|
|
564 for subsequent modification, BE SURE TO DELETE THE "t" AT THE END
|
|
565 OF EACH PARAMETER LIST!
|
|
566
|
|
567
|
|
568 SPECIFYING WORD ENTITIES:
|
|
569
|
|
570 The variable edt-word-entities is used to emulate EDT's SET ENTITY WORD
|
|
571 command. It contains a list of characters to be treated as words in
|
|
572 themselves. If the user does not define edt-word-entities in his/her .emacs
|
|
573 file, then it is set up with the EDT default containing only TAB.
|
|
574
|
|
575 The characters are stored in the list by their numerical values, not as
|
|
576 strings. Emacs supports several ways to specify the numerical value of a
|
|
577 character. One method is to use the question mark: ?A means the numerical
|
|
578 value for A, ?/ means the numerical value for /, and so on. Several
|
|
579 unprintable characters have special representations:
|
|
580
|
|
581 ?\b specifies BS, C-h
|
|
582 ?\t specifies TAB, C-i
|
|
583 ?\n specifies LFD, C-j
|
|
584 ?\v specifies VTAB, C-k
|
|
585 ?\f specifies FF, C-l
|
|
586 ?\r specifies CR, C-m
|
|
587 ?\e specifies ESC, C-[
|
|
588 ?\\ specifies \
|
|
589
|
|
590 Here are some examples:
|
|
591
|
|
592 (setq edt-word-entities '(?\t ?- ?/)) ;; Specifies TAB, - , and /
|
|
593 (setq edt-word-entities '(?\t) ;; Specifies TAB, the default
|
|
594
|
|
595 You can also specify characters by their decimal ascii values:
|
|
596
|
|
597 (setq edt-word-entities '(9 45 47)) ;; Specifies TAB, - , and /
|
|
598
|
|
599
|
|
600 ENABLING EDT CONTROL KEY SEQUENCE BINDINGS:
|
|
601
|
|
602 Where EDT key bindings and GNU Emacs key bindings conflict, the default GNU
|
|
603 Emacs key bindings are retained by default. Some diehard EDT users may not
|
|
604 like this. So, if the variable edt-use-EDT-control-key-bindings is set to
|
|
605 true in a user's .emacs file, then the default EDT Emulation mode will enable
|
|
606 most of the original EDT control key sequence bindings. If you wish to do
|
|
607 this, add the following line to your .emacs file:
|
|
608
|
|
609 (setq edt-use-EDT-control-key-bindings t)
