Keyboard shortcuts structure

Each keyboard shortcut appears in the menu as the last word of the item. The word must have a space character at the beginning and the end of the word. For example : é" Quitter ^Q ".

The keyboard shortcut can have the following first character (after the space character):

^ (0x5E) meanning Control
? (0x07) meanning Alternate
? (0x01) meanning Left Shift or Right Shift

The next character may a alphabetical character (a..z) or a special sequence representing a special key. These sequences are :

ESC	The Escape key
UNDO	the Undo key
HELP	the Help key
INSERT	the Insert key
HOME	the Home key
TAB	the Tab key
BACK	the Backspace key
DEL ! the Delete key
F1 ... F10	the function keys 1, 2 ...

" Information I "
" Copy ^C "
" Center F1 "
" Help HELP "
" Delete ^DEL "
" Infos ? "

Only the extended object 18 (button) can have a keyboard shortcut. If we insert a '[' character behind a character, this character will appear as underlined and the object will be selected by typing the sequence Alternate and the underlined character.

Example

text button: "[Save configuration"
appear as: "Sve configuration"
keyboard shortcut: alternate S

RETURN ou ENTER

selects the DEFAULT object,

UNDO

selects the object with a FLAGS11 ob_flags or the object with a 31-extended type,

HELP

selects the 21-extended type object.

WinDom does not integrate high custom functions such as copy/paste. Nowadays, moderns AES (MagiC, Naes) integrates these functions. If you does not use MagiC or Naes, you can use Let's Them Fly, a TSR program compatible with all TOS versions. The functions offers by these programs are :
