'FL' |
Start Function Key Load |
Editing or Behaviour
Use 'FL' to start loading function keys. This feature is included for compatibility with other languages. This mnemonic will allow you to change the characters that will be returned to the application when a function key is pressed.
The 'FL' mnemonic is generally followed by a single character code indicating the type of function to be performed, usually followed by the <keycode> (the function key number as a binary character), and one or more parameters encoded in the print sequence:
|
'FL' Sequence |
Description |
|
"0" <keycode> |
Drops the definition for the specified key. |
|
"1" |
Drops all key definitions. |
|
"2" <keycode><len><data...> |
Sets the value returned for the specific key code to the string defined in <data...> whose length is in the byte <len>. |
|
"3" <cnt> |
Sets the value of multiple keys in a single load. |
|
"4" <keycode> |
Places the length byte and data associated with the <keycode> into the input buffer. |
|
"5" |
Places all defined key code values in the input buffer in the same format as used on "3" above. |
|
"8" <keycode> |
Places just the data portion of the specified key into the input buffer. |
Example:
A typical command to change the function key would be:
print 'FL',"2",chr(2),$01$,$88$,
This would cause the F3 key to place $88$ into the input buffer.
The <keycode> contains the function key number base zero; thus, F1 is CHR(0), F2 is CHR(1), etc.
