Re: [Protux-devel] help.text & jmb.map

[Luciano Giordana]

Actually that idea of extracting the help from jmb.map will be a little 
changed. Now jmb.map does not apply any meaning to the actions. Every action  
(the fisical operation on the keyboard, not the EFFECT it causes) has a 
unique ID. The code is responsible to use a specific ID for some 
context/local operation.

So I think this generation would be something like

in help.text :

"If you want to open the project manager, just perform %003% ."

this %003% would be parsed from jmb.map file which is

003 < P M >

and the ouput would be

If you want to open the project manager, just perform  <PM> (Single press P 
and M at the same time)

in other words, the help.text file is a normal text file for help, but the 
keyboard actions are reffered by their ID's
