[RBASE-L] - Re: Keymaps

Because people that use the 10 key pad for numeric data entry can use their 
left hand for the FKeys.

Jan,

Why not use the db navigator instead of [F7][F9]?

  Razzak,

  This came about when a user was using F7(previous) and F8(next)
  and shifted their fingers to F8(next) and F9(delete) and since I have
  PROPERTY RBASE_FORM DONTSHOWDELETEDIALOG "TRUE"
  in the after start eep the user was happily deleting rows without
  looking at the screen.

  The user really needs to use F7 and F8 so I really need to move things
  away from F6 and F9 to be save.

  I know that F2 is INSERT and F9 is DELETE but what what are the other
  defaults?

  Jan

    Actually, that will reset everything back to normal.

    However, if you need to disable the [F9] key, you will have to assign [F9]
    to something else, such as [F6].

    Here's how:

    Add the following code at the beginning of your application start file or
    in RBASE.DAT file:

    SET KEYMAP [F9] = [F6]
    RETURN

    You may reset everything back to normal using the following code:

    SET KEYMAP [F9] OFF
    RETURN

    Both commands can also be used as "On Before Start EEP" & "On Close EEP"
    when using a form based menu driven application.

    And, that's all there is to it!

    Have fun.

    Very Best R:egards,

    Razzak.
