-
-I. OVERVIEW:
-
-This is Version 4.0 of the EDT Emulation for Emacs 19 and above.
-It comes with special functions which replicate nearly all of EDT's
-keypad mode behavior. It sets up default keypad and function key
-bindings which closely match those found in EDT. Support is
-provided so that users may reconfigure most keypad and function key
-bindings to their own liking.
-
-NOTE: Version 4.0 contains several enhancements. See the
-Enhancements section below for the details.
-
-
-Quick Start:
-
-To start the EDT Emulation, first start Emacs and then enter
-
- M-x edt-emulation-on
-
-to begin the emulation. After initialization is complete, the
-following message will appear below the status line informing you
-that the emulation has been enabled: "Default EDT keymap active".
-
- You can have the EDT Emulation start up automatically, each time
-you initiate a GNU Emacs session, by adding the following line to
-your .emacs file:
-
- (add-hook term-setup-hook 'edt-emulation-on)
-
-IMPORTANT: Be sure to read the rest of this file. It contains very
- useful information on how the EDT Emulation behaves and how
- to customize it to your liking.
-
-The EDT emulation consists of the following files:
-
-edt-user.doc - User Instructions and Sample Customization File
-edt.el - EDT Emulation Functions and Default Configuration
-edt-lk201.el - Built-in support for DEC LK-201 Keyboards
-edt-vt100.el - Built-in support for DEC VT-100 (and above) terminals
-edt-pc.el - Built-in support for PC 101 Keyboards under MS-DOS
-edt-mapper.el - Create an EDT LK-201 Map File for Keyboards Without
- Built-in Support
-
-Enhancements:
-
-Version 4.0 contains the following enhancements:
-
- 1. Scroll margins at the top and bottom of the window are now
- supported. (The design was copied from tpu-extras.el.) By
- default, this feature is enabled with the top margin set to
- 10% of the window and the bottom margin set to 15% of the
- window. To change these settings, you can invoke the function
- edt-set-scroll-margins in your .emacs file. For example, the
- following line
-
- (edt-set-scroll-margins "20%" "25%")
-
- sets the top margin to 20% of the window and the bottom margin
- to 25% of the window. To disable this feature, set each
- margin to 0%. You can also invoke edt-set-scroll-margins
- interactively while EDT Emulation is active to change the
- settings for that session.
-
- NOTE: Another way to set the scroll margins is to use the
- Emacs customization feature (not available in Emacs 19) to set
- the following two variables directly:
-
- edt-top-scroll-margin and edt-bottom-scroll-margin
-
- Enter the Emacs `customize' command. First select the Editing
- group and then select the Emulations group. Finally, select
- the Edt group and follow the directions.
-
- 2. The SUBS command is now supported and bound to GOLD-Enter by
- default. (This design was copied from tpu-edt.el.) Note, in
- earlier versions of EDT Emulation, GOLD-Enter was assigned to
- the Emacs function `query-replace'. The binding of
- `query-replace' has been moved to GOLD-/. If you prefer to
- restore `query-replace' to GOLD-Enter, then use an EDT user
- customization file, edt-user.el, to do this. See edt-user.doc
- for details.
-
- 3. EDT Emulation now also works in XEmacs, including the
- highlighting of selected text.
-
- 4. If you access a workstation using an X Server, observe that
- the initialization file generated by edt-mapper.el will now
- contain the name of the X Server vendor. This is a
- convenience for those who have access to their Unix account
- from more than one type of X Server. Since different X
- Servers typically require different EDT emulation
- initialization files, edt-mapper.el will now generate these
- different initialization files and save them with different
- names. Then, the correct initialization file for the
- particular X server in use is loaded correctly automatically.
-
- 5. Also, edt-mapper.el is now capable of binding an ASCII key
- sequence, providing the ASCII key sequence prefix is already
- known by Emacs to be a prefix. As a result of providing this
- support, some terminal/keyboard/window system configurations,
- which don't have a complete set of sensible function key
- bindings built into Emacs in `function-key-map', can still be
- configured for use with EDT Emulation. (Note: In a few rare
- circumstances this does not work properly. In particular, it
- does not work if a subset of the leading ASCII characters in a
- key sequence are recognized by Emacs as having an existing
- binding. For example, if the keypad 7 (KP-7) key generates
- the sequence \"<ESC>Ow\" and \"<ESC>O\" is already bound to a
- function, pressing KP-7 when told to do so by edt-mapper.el
- will result in edt-mapper.el incorrectly mapping \"<ESC>O\" to
- KP-7 and \"w\" to KP-8. If something like this happens to
- you, it is probably a bug in the support for your keyboard
- within Emacs OR a bug in the Unix termcap/terminfo support for
- your terminal OR a bug in the terminal emulation software you
- are using.)
-
- 6. The edt-quit function (bound to GOLD-q by default) has been
- modified to warn the user when file-related buffer
- modifications exist. It now cautions the user that those
- modifications will be lost if the user quits without saving
- those buffers.
-
-
-Goals:
-
- 1. Emulate EDT Keypad Mode commands closely so that current EDT users
- will find that it easy and comfortable to use GNU Emacs with a
- small learning curve;
-
- 2. Make it easy for a user to customize EDT emulation key bindings
- without knowing much about Emacs Lisp;
-
- 3. Make it easy to switch between the original EDT default bindings
- and the user's customized EDT bindings, without having to exit
- Emacs.
-
- 4. Provide support for some TPU/EVE functions not supported in EDT.
-
- 5. Provide an easy way to restore ALL original Emacs key bindings,
- just as they existed before the EDT emulation was first invoked.
-
- 6. Support GNU Emacs 19 and higher. (GNU Emacs 18 and below is no
- longer supported.) XEmacs 19, and above, is also supported.
-
- 7. Supports highlighting of marked text within the EDT emulation on
- all platforms on which Emacs supports highlighting of marked text.
-
- 8. Handle terminal configuration interactively for most terminal
- configurations, when the emulation is invoked for the first time.
-
- 9. Support a PC AT keyboard under MS-DOS.
-
-
-II. TERMINALS/KEYBOARDS SUPPORTED:
-
-Keyboards used under a Window System are supported via the edt-mapper function.
-The first time you invoke the emulation under a window system, the edt-mapper
-function is run automatically and the user is prompted to identify which keys
-the emulation is to use for the standard keypad and function keys EDT expects
-(e.g., PF1, PF2, KP0, KP1, F1, F2, etc.). This configuration is saved to disk
-read each time the emulation is invoked.
-
-In character oriented connections not running a window manager, built-in
-support for the following terminals/keyboards is provided:
-
- (1) DEC VT-100 series and higher. This includes well behaved VT clones and
- emulators. If you are using a VT series terminal, be sure that the term
- environment variable is set properly before invoking emacs.
-
- (2) PC AT keyboard under MS-DOS.
-
-Be sure to read the SPECIAL NOTES FOR SOME PLATFORMS sections to see if those
-notes apply to you.
-
-
-III. STARTING THE EDT EMULATION:
-
-Start up GNU Emacs and enter "M-x edt-emulation-on" to begin the emulation.
-After initialization is complete, the following message will appear below the
-status line informing you that the emulation has been enabled:
-
- Default EDT keymap active
-
-You can have the EDT Emulation start up automatically, each time you initiate
-a GNU Emacs session, by adding the following line to your .emacs file:
-
- (add-hook term-setup-hook 'edt-emulation-on)
-
-A reference sheet is included (later on) listing the default EDT Emulation key
-bindings. This sheet is also accessible on line from within Emacs by pressing
-PF2, GOLD H, or HELP (when in the EDT Default Mode).
-
-It is easy to customize key bindings in the EDT Emulation. (See CUSTOMIZING
-section, below.) Customizations are placed in a file called edt-user.el. (A
-sample edt-user.el file can be found in the CUSTOMIZING section.) If
-edt-user.el is found in your GNU Emacs load path during EDT Emulation
-initialization, then the following message will appear below the status line
-indicating that the emulation has been enabled, enhanced by your own
-customizations:
-
- User EDT custom keymap active
-
-Once enabled, it is easy to switch back and forth between your customized EDT
-Emulation key bindings and the default EDT Emulation key bindings. (See the
-sample edt-user.el file below. Look at the binding to GOLD Z.) It is also
-easy to turn off the emulation (via the command edt-emulation-off). Doing so
-completely restores the original key bindings in effect just prior to invoking
-the emulation.
-
-Emacs binds keys to ASCII control characters and so does the real EDT. Where
-EDT key bindings and GNU Emacs key bindings conflict, the default GNU Emacs key
-bindings are retained by the EDT emulation by default. If you are a diehard
-EDT user you may not like this. The CUSTOMIZING section explains how to change
-this so that the EDT bindings to ASCII control characters override the default
-Emacs bindings.
-
-
-IV. SPECIAL NOTES FOR SOME PLATFORMS:
-
- Sun Workstations running X:
-
- Some earlier Sun keyboards do not have arrow keys separate from the keypad
- keys. It is difficult to emulate the full EDT keypad and still retain use
- of the arrow keys on such keyboards.
-
- The Sun Type 5 and other more recent Sun keyboards, however, do have
- separate arrow keys. This makes them candidates for setting up a
- reasonable EDT keypad emulation.
-
- Depending upon the configuration of the version of X installed on your
- system, you may find the default X keynames for the keypad keys don't
- permit Emacs to interpret some or all the keypad keys as something other
- than arrow keys, numeric keys, Home, PgUP, etc. Both Sun and HP have been
- particularly guilty of making bizarre keysym assignments to the keypad
- keys.
-
- In most cases, the X Windows command, xmodmap, can be used to correct the
- problem. Here's a sample .xmodmaprc file which corrects this problem on
- one Sun workstation configuration using an older SunOS release configured
- with a Sun Type 5 keyboard:
-
- ! File: .xmodmaprc
- !
- ! Set up Sun Type 5 keypad for use with the GNU Emacs EDT Emulation
- !
- keycode 53 = KP_Divide
- keycode 54 = KP_Multiply
- keycode 57 = KP_Decimal
- keycode 75 = KP_7
- keycode 76 = KP_8
- keycode 77 = KP_9
- keycode 78 = KP_Subtract
- keycode 97 = KP_Enter
- keycode 98 = KP_4
- keycode 99 = KP_5
- keycode 100 = KP_6
- keycode 101 = KP_0
- keycode 105 = F24
- keycode 119 = KP_1
- keycode 120 = KP_2
- keycode 121 = KP_3
- keycode 132 = KP_Add
-
- If edt-mapper.el does not recognize your keypad keys as unique keys, use
- the command
-
- xmodmap -pke
-
- to get a listing of the actual key codes and the keysyms mapped to them
- and then generate you own custom .xmodmaprc similar to the one above.
-
- Next, feed .xmodmaprc to the xmodmap command and all the Sun Type 5 keypad
- keys will now be configurable for the emulation of an LK-201 keypad (less
- the comma key). In this example, the line
-
- keycode 105 = F24
-
- changes the X Windows name of the keypad NumLock key to be known
- internally as the F24 key. Doing so permits it to be configured to behave
- as the PF1 (Gold) key.
-
- The side effect of this change is that you will no longer have a NumLock
- key. If you are using other software under X which requires a NumLock
- key, then examine your keyboard and look for one you don't use and
- redefine it to be the NumLock key. Basically, you need to clear the
- NumLock key from being assigned as a modifier, assign it to the key of
- your choice, and then add it back as a modifier. (See the "General Notes
- on Using NumLock for the PF1 Key on a Unix System" section below for
- further help on how to do this.)
-
- PC users running MS-DOS:
-
- By default, F1 is configured to emulate the PF1 (GOLD) key. But NumLock
- can be used instead if you load a freeware TSR distributed with MS-Kermit,
- call gold.com. This was once distributed in a file called gold22.zip and
- came with the source code as well as a loadable binary image. (See
- edt-pc.el in the Emacs lisp/emulation directory for more information.)
-
- PC users running GNU/Linux:
-
- The default X server configuration varies from distribution to
- distribution and release to release of GNU/Linux. If your system fails to
- recognize the keypad keys as distinct keys, change the NumLock state,
- turning it on or off, as the case may be, then try again. If this doesn't
- solve your problem, you may have to modify the X keysym mappings with
- xmodmap.
-
- On one distribution on an Intel PC, the following .xmodmaprc set things up
- nicely.
-
- ! File: .xmodmaprc
- !
- ! Set up PC keypad under GNU/Linux for the GNU Emacs EDT Emulation
- !
- clear mod2
- keycode 77 = F12
- keycode 96 = Num_Lock Pointer_EnableKeys
- add mod2 = Num_Lock
-
- In this example, after feeding the file to the xmodmap command, the PC
- NumLock keypad key will be configurable for the emulation of the PF1 key.
- The PC keypad can now emulate an LK-201 keypad (less the comma key), the
- standard keyboard supplied with DEC terminals VT-200 and above. This
- .xmodmaprc file switches the role of the F12 and NumLock keys. It has
- been tested on RedHat GNU/Linux 5.2. Other versions of GNU/Linux may
- require different keycodes. (See the "General Notes on Using NumLock for
- the PF1 Key on a Unix System" section below for further help on how to do
- this.)
-
- NOTE: Remember, it may be necessary to have NumLock in one position (ON)
- or the other (OFF) for the PC keypad to emulate the LK-201 keypad
- properly.
-
- General Notes on Using NumLock for the PF1 Key on a Unix System:
-
- Making the physical NumLock key available for use in the EDT
- Emulation requires some modification to the default X Window
- settings. Since the keycode assignments vary from system to
- system, some investigation is needed to see how to do this on
- a particular system.
-
- You will need to look at the output generated by xmodmap invoked with the
- "-pm" switch. examined. For example, on RedHat GNU/Linux 5.2 on a PC, we
- get the following output when running xmodmap.
-
- "xmodmap -pm" yields:
-
- xmodmap: up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
-
- shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
- lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
- control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d)
- mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x71)
- mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
- mod3
- mod4
- mod5 Scroll_Lock (0x4e)
-
-
- Note that Num_Lock is assigned to the modifier mod2. This is
- what hides Num_Lock from being seen by Emacs.
-
- Now, "xmodmap -pke" yields:
-
- .
- .
- .
- keycode 77 = Num_Lock Pointer_EnableKeys
- .
- .
- .
- keycode 96 = F12
- .
- .
- .
-
- So, in RedHat GNU/Linux 5.2 on a PC, Num_Lock generates keycode
- 77. The following steps are taken:
-
- 1. clear the assignment of Num_Lock to mod2;
- 2. swap the keycodes assigned to F12 and Num_Lock;
- 3. assign Num_Lock back to mod2.
-
- The .xmodmaprc file looks like this:
-
- ! File: .xmodmaprc
- !
- ! Set up PC keypad under GNU/Linux for the GNU Emacs EDT Emulation
- !
- clear mod2
- keycode 77 = F12
- keycode 96 = Num_Lock Pointer_EnableKeys
- add mod2 = Num_Lock
-
- So, after executing "xmodmap .xmodmaprc", a press of the physical
- F12 key looks like a Num_Lock keypress to X. Also, a press of the
- physical NumLock key looks like a press of the F12 key to X.
-
- Now, edt-mapper.el will see "f12" when the physical NumLock key
- is pressed, allowing the NumLock key to be used as the EDT PF1
- (Gold) key.
-
-V. HOW DOES THIS EDT EMULATION DIFFER FROM REAL EDT?:
-
-In general, you will find that this emulation of EDT replicates most, but not
-all, of EDT's most used Keypad Mode editing functions and behavior. It is not
-perfect, but most EDT users who have tried the emulation agree that it is
-quite good enough to make it easy for die-hard EDT users to move over to using
-GNU Emacs.
-
-Here's a list of the most important differences between EDT and this GNU Emacs
-EDT Emulation. The list is short but you must be aware of these differences
-if you are to use the EDT Emulation effectively.
-
-1. Entering repeat counts works a little differently than in EDT.
-
- EDT allows users to enter a repeat count before entering a command that
- accepts repeat counts. For example, when using the real EDT, pressing
- these three keys in sequence, GOLD 5 KP1, will move the cursor in the
- current direction 5 words. This does NOT work in Emacs!
-
- Emacs provides two ways to enter repeat counts and neither involves using
- the GOLD key. First, repeat counts can be entered in Emacs by using the
- ESC key. For example, pressing these keys in sequence, ESC 1 0 KP1, will
- move the cursor in the current direction 10 words. Second, Emacs provides
- another command called universal-argument that can be used to do the same
- thing. Normally, in Emacs has this bound to C-u.
-
-2. EDT's line mode commands and nokeypad mode commands are NOT supported
- (with one important exception; see item 8 in the Highlights section
- below). Although, at first, this may seem like a big omission, the set of
- built-in Emacs commands provides a much richer set of capabilities which
- more than make up for this omission.
-
- To enter Emacs commands not bound to keys, you can press GOLD KP7 or the DO
- key. Emacs will display its own command prompt "M-x". This stands for the
- keypress Meta-x, where Meta is a special shift key. The Alt key is often
- mapped to behave as a Meta key. So, you can also invoke this prompt by
- pressing Meta-x. Typing the sequence "ESC x" will also invoke the prompt.
-
-3. Selected text is highlighted ONLY on systems where Emacs supports the
- highlighting of text.
-
-4. Just like in TPU/EVE, the ENTER key is NOT used to terminate input when the
- editor prompts you for input. The RETURN key is used, instead. (KP4 and
- KP5 (the direction keys) do terminate input for the FIND command, just like
- in EDT, however.)
-
-
-
-
-VI. SOME HIGHLIGHTS IN THIS EDT EMULATION, AND SOME COMPARISONS TO THE
- ORIGINAL GNU EMACS EDT EMULATION:
-
-1. The EDT define key command is supported (edt-define-key) and is bound to
- C-k in the default EDT mode when EDT control sequence bindings are enabled
- or one of the sample edt-user.el customization files is used. The TPU/EVE
- learn command is supported but not bound to a key in the default EDT mode
- but is bound in the sample edt-user.el file.
-
- Unlike the TPU/EVE learn command, which uses one key to begin the learn
- sequence, C-l, and another command to remember the sequence, C-r, this
- version of the learn command (edt-learn) serves as a toggle to both begin
- and to remember the learn sequence.
-
- Many users who change the meaning of a key with the define key and the
- learn commands, would like to be able to restore the original key binding
- without having to quit and restart emacs. So a restore key command is
- provided to do just that. When invoked, it prompts you to press the key
- to which you wish the last replaced key definition restored. It is bound
- to GOLD C-k in the default EDT mode when EDT control sequence bindings are
- enabled or one of the sample edt-user.el customization files is used.
-
-2. Direction support is fully supported.
-
-3. All original Emacs bindings are fully restored when EDT emulation is turned
- off. So, if a fellow worker comes over to your terminal to help you with a
- software problem, for example, and is completely confused by your EDT
- emulation bindings, just enter the command, edt-emulation-off, at the M-x
- prompt and the original Emacs bindings will be restored. To resume the EDT
- emulation, just enter edt-emulation-on.
-
-4. User custom EDT bindings are kept separate from the default EDT bindings.
- One can toggle back and forth between the custom EDT bindings and default
- EDT bindings.
-
-5. The Emacs functions in edt.el attempt to emulate, where practical, the
- exact behavior of the corresponding EDT keypad mode commands. In a few
- cases, the emulation is not exact, but we hope you will agree it is close
- enough. In a very few cases, we chose to use the Emacs way of handling
- things. As mentioned earlier, we do not emulate the EDT SUBS command.
- Instead, we chose to use the Emacs query-replace function, which we find
- to be easier to use.
-
-6. Emacs uses the regexp assigned to page-delimiter to determine what marks a
- page break. This is normally "^\f", which causes the edt-page command to
- ignore form feeds not located at the beginning of a line. To emulate the
- EDT PAGE command exactly, page-delimiter is set to "\f" when EDT emulation
- is turned on, and restored to "^\f" when EDT emulation is turned off.
- But, since some users prefer the Emacs definition of a page break, or may
- wish to preserve a customized definition of page break, one can override
- the EDT definition by placing
-
- (setq edt-keep-current-page-delimiter t)
-
- in your .emacs file. Or, you can used the Emacs customize command
- to change its setting.
-
-7. The EDT definition of a section of a terminal window is hardwired to be 16
- lines of its one-and-only 24-line window (the EDT SECT command bound to
- KP8). That's two-thirds of the window at a time. Since Emacs, like
- TPU/EVE, can handle multiple windows of sizes of other than 24 lines, the
- definition of section used here has been modified to two-thirds of the
- current window. (There is also an edt-scroll-window function which you
- may prefer over the SECT emulation.)
-
-8. Cursor movement and deletion involving word entities is identical to EDT.
- This, above all else, gives the die-hard EDT user a sense of being at
- home. Also, an emulation of EDT's SET ENTITY WORD command is provided,
- for those users who like to customize movement by a word at a time to
- their own liking.
-
-9. EDT's FIND and FNDNXT are supported.
-
-10. EDT's APPEND, REPLACE, and SUBS commands are supported.
-
-11. CHNGCASE is supported. It works on individual characters or selected
- text, if SELECT is active. In addition, two new commands are provided:
- edt-lowercase and edt-uppercase. They work on individual WORDS or
- selected text, if SELECT is active.
-
-12. Form feed and tab insert commands are supported.
-
-13. A new command, edt-duplicate-word, is provided. If you experiment with
- it, you might find it to be surprisingly useful and may wonder how you
- ever got along without it! It is assigned to C-j in the sample
- edt-user.el customization files.
-
-14. TPU/EVE's Rectangular Cut and Paste functions (originally from the EVE-Plus
- package) are supported. But unlike the TPU/EVE versions, these here
- support both insert and overwrite modes. The seven rectangular functions
- are bound to F7, F8, GOLD-F8, F9, GOLD-F9, F10, and GOLD-F10 in the
- default EDT mode.
-
-15. The original EDT emulation package set up many default regular and GOLD
- bindings. We tried to preserve most (but not all!) of these, so users of
- the original emulation package will feel more at home.
-
- Nevertheless, there are still many GOLD key sequences which are not bound
- to any functions. These are prime candidates to use for your own
- customizations.
-
- Also, there are several commands in edt.el not bound to any key. So, you
- will find it worthwhile to look through edt.el for functions you may wish
- to add to your personal customized bindings.
-
-16. The VT200/VT300 series terminals steal the function keys F1 to F5 for
- their own use. These do not generate signals which are sent to the host.
- So, edt.el does not assign any default bindings to F1 through F5.
-
- In addition, our VT220 terminals generate an interrupt when the F6 key is
- pressed (^C or ^Y, can't remember which) and not the character sequence
- documented in the manual. So, binding emacs commands to F6 will not work
- if your terminal behaves the same way.
-
-17. The VT220 terminal has no ESC, BS, nor LF keys, as does a VT100. So the
- default EDT bindings adopt the standard DEC convention of having the F11,
- F12, and F13 keys, on a VT200 series (and above) terminal, assigned to the
- same EDT functions that are bound to ESC, BS, and LF on a VT100 terminal.
-
-18. Each user, through the use of a private edt-user.el file, can customize,
- very easily, personal EDT emulation bindings.
-
-19. The EDT SELECT and RESET functions are supported. However, unlike EDT,
- pressing RESET to cancel text selection does NOT reset the existing
- setting of the current direction.
-
- We also provide a TPU/EVE like version of the single SELECT/RESET
- function, called edt-toggle-select, which makes the EDT SELECT function
- into a toggle on/off switch. That is, if selection is ON, pressing SELECT
- again turns selection off (cancels selection). This function is used in
- the sample edt-user.el customization files.
-
-20. EDT scroll margins are supported, but are disabled by default. (See
- CUSTOMIZING section below for instructions on how to enable them.)
-
-
-VII. CUSTOMIZING:
-
-Most EDT users, at one time or another, make some custom key bindings, or
-use someone else's custom key bindings, which they come to depend upon just as
-if they were built-in bindings. This EDT Emulation for GNU Emacs is designed
-to make it easy to customize bindings.
-
-If you wish to customize the EDT Emulation to use some of your own key
-bindings, you need to make a private version of edt-user.el in your own
-private lisp directory. There are two sample files edt-user.el1 and
-edt-user.el2 for you to use as templates and for ideas. Look at
-edt-user.el1 first. Unless you will be using two or more very different
-types of terminals on the same system, you need not look at edt-user.el2.
-
-First, you need to have your own private lisp directory, say ~/lisp, and
-you should add it to the GNU Emacs load path.
-
-NOTE: A few sites have different load-path requirements, so the above
- directions may need some modification if your site has such special
- needs.
-
-
-Creating your own edt-user.el file:
-
-A sample edt-user.el file is attached to the end of this user documentation.
-You should use it as a guide to learn how you can customize EDT emulation
-bindings to your own liking. Names used to identify the set of LK-201
-keypad and function keys are:
-
-Keypad Keys:
- PF1 PF2 PF3 PF4
- KP7 KP8 KP9 KP-
- KP4 KP5 KP6 KP,
- KP1 KP2 KP3
- KP0 KPP KPE
-
-Arrow Keys:
- LEFT RIGHT DOWN UP
-
-Function Keys:
- F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 F9 F10 F11 F12 F13 F14
- HELP DO F17 F18 F19 F20
-
- FIND INSERT REMOVE
- SELECT PREVIOUS NEXT
-
-Note:
- Many VT-200 terminals, and above, steal function keys F1 thru
- F5 for terminal setup control and don't send anything to the
- host if pressed. So customizing bindings to these keys may
- not work for you.
-
-There are three basic functions that do the EDT emulation custom bindings:
-edt-bind-key, edt-bind-gold-key, and edt-bind-function-key.
-
-The first two are for binding functions to keys which are standard across most
-keyboards. This makes them keyboard independent, making it possible to define
-these key bindings for all terminals in the file edt.el.
-
-The first, edt-bind-key, is used typically to bind emacs commands to
-control keys, although some people use it to bind commands to other keys, as
-well. (For example, some people use it to bind the VT200 seldom used
-back-tick key (`) to the function "ESC-prefix" so it will behave like an ESC
-key.) The second function, edt-bind-gold-key, is used to bind emacs commands
-to gold key sequences involving alpha-numeric keys, special character keys,
-and control keys.
-
-The third function, edt-bind-function-key, is terminal dependent and is defined
-in a terminal specific file (see edt-vt100.el for example). It is used to bind
-emacs commands to LK-201 function keys, to keypad keys, and to gold sequences
-of those keys.
-
-
-SPECIFYING WORD ENTITIES:
-
-The variable edt-word-entities is used to emulate EDT's SET ENTITY WORD
-command. It contains a list of characters to be treated as words in
-themselves. If the user does not define edt-word-entities in his/her .emacs
-file, then it is set up with the EDT default containing only TAB.
-
-The characters are stored in the list by their numerical values, not as
-strings. Emacs supports several ways to specify the numerical value of a
-character. One method is to use the question mark: ?A means the numerical
-value for A, ?/ means the numerical value for /, and so on. Several
-unprintable characters have special representations:
-
- ?\b specifies BS, C-h
- ?\t specifies TAB, C-i
- ?\n specifies LFD, C-j
- ?\v specifies VTAB, C-k
- ?\f specifies FF, C-l
- ?\r specifies CR, C-m
- ?\e specifies ESC, C-[
- ?\\ specifies \
-
-Here are some examples:
-
- (setq edt-word-entities '(?\t ?- ?/)) ;; Specifies TAB, - , and /
- (setq edt-word-entities '(?\t) ;; Specifies TAB, the default
-
-You can also specify characters by their decimal ascii values:
-
- (setq edt-word-entities '(9 45 47)) ;; Specifies TAB, - , and /
-
-
-ENABLING EDT CONTROL KEY SEQUENCE BINDINGS:
-
-Where EDT key bindings and GNU Emacs key bindings conflict, the default GNU
-Emacs key bindings are retained by default. Some diehard EDT users may not
-like this. So, if the variable edt-use-EDT-control-key-bindings is set to
-true in a user's .emacs file, then the default EDT Emulation mode will enable
-most of the original EDT control key sequence bindings. If you wish to do
-this, add the following line to your .emacs file:
-
- (setq edt-use-EDT-control-key-bindings t)
-
-
-SETTING SCROLL MARGINS:
-
-Scroll margins at the top and bottom of the window are now supported. (The
-design was copied from tpu-extras.el.) By default, this feature is enabled
-with the top margin set to 10% of the window and the bottom margin set to 15%
-of the window. To change these settings, you can invoke the function
-edt-set-scroll-margins in your .emacs file. For example, the following line
-
- (edt-set-scroll-margins "20%" "25%")
-
-sets the top margin to 20% of the window and the bottom margin to 25% of the
-window. To disable this feature, set each margin to 0%. You can also invoke
-edt-set-scroll-margins interactively while EDT Emulation is active to change
-the settings for that session.
-
-NOTE: Another way to set the scroll margins is to use the Emacs customization
-feature (not available in Emacs 19) to set the following two variables
-directly:
-
- edt-top-scroll-margin and edt-bottom-scroll-margin
-
-Enter the Emacs `customize' command. First select the Editing group and then
-select the Emulations group. Finally, select the Edt group and follow the
-directions.
