To set up custom action keys
•
Modify the "actionKeysSub.keyDefs" resource.
The "actionKeysSub.keyDefs" resource defines a list of paired strings. The
first string defines the text that should appear on the action key pushbutton.
The second string defines the command that should be sent to the command
line area and executed when the action key is pushed.
A pair of parentheses (with no spaces, that is "()") can be used in the
command definition to indicate that text from the entry buffer should replace
the parentheses when the command is executed.
Action keys that use the entry buffer should always include the entry buffer
symbol, "( )", in the action key label as a visual cue to remind you to place
information in the entry buffer before clicking the action key.
Shell commands can be executed by using an exclamation point prefix. A
second exclamation point ends the command string and allows additional
options on the command line.
Also, command files can be executed by placing the name of the file in the
command definition.
Finally, an empty action ("") means to repeat the previous operation, whether
it came from a pulldown, a dialog, a popup, or another action key.
Examples To set up custom action keys when the graphical interface is used with 6833x
emulators, modify the "*m6833x*actionKeysSub.keyDefs" resource:
*m6833x*actionKeysSub.keyDefs: \
"Make" "cd /users/project2/6833x; !make! in_browser" \
"Load Pgm" "load configuration config.EA; load program2" \
"Run Pgm" "run from reset" \
"Trace after ( )" "trace after (); display trace" \
"Step Source" "set source on; display memory mnemonic; step source" \
"Again" ""
