## SET KEYPAD EDT

### Format

> SET KEYPAD EDT

### Description

> The SET KEYPAD EDT command enables the EDT-style keypad, defining the numeric keypad and other keys. There are three ways to keep the EDT keypad for future editing sessions:
> - Put the SET KEYPAD EDT command in an initialization file (EVE$INIT.EVE).
> - Use the SAVE EXTENDED EVE command to create a section file that saves your key definitions.
> - Define the logical name EVE$KEYPAD to EDT before entering the editor.

> Table 2-11 lists the keys defined when you use SET KEYPAD EDT, including any EVE default keys still in effect. If you define any keys, when you use DEFINE KEY or LEARN, your definitions override the EVE or EDT definitions.

> SET KEYPAD EDT does not completely emulate EDT. Table 2-12 explains the important differences between the EVE EDT keypad and the VAX EDT keypad.

> Table 2-12 EVE Differences with SET KEYPAD EDT
> EVE Keys or Function | Difference From VAX EDT
> --- | ---
> PF1 | GOLD. The EDT keypad makes PF1 the GOLD key, overriding any current definition of PF1. However, if you set a different key as GOLD, the EDT keypad uses your GOLD key without redefining PF1. The EDT keypad also defines the EVE default GOLD key sequences, such as GOLD-Find. See the description of the SET GOLD KEY command.
> GOLD-PF2 | HELP KEYS. Displays a list of all defined keys.
> KP1 | MOVE BY WORD. Uses slightly different word boundaries from EDT. In EVE, a "word" includes the trailing white space (spaces or tabs).
> GOLD-KP7 | DO. Enters an EVE command. EVE does not support or emulate EDT line-mode or "nokeypad" commands.
> GOLD-KP8 | FILL. Reformats the current paragraph, range, or box. If you want the key to fill only a range or box, redefine GOLD-KP8 as FILL RANGE. EVE paragraph boundaries are different (see the description of the FILL command.)
> ENTER | RETURN. Terminates a command or starts a new line. You can redefine ENTER, but you cannot redefine RETURN or Ctrl/M.
> Ctrl/C | Usually halts an operation, such as a repeat or global replace. However, if you are using keystroke journaling (instead of buffer-change journaling), Ctrl/C is not recorded in the journal file. After using Ctrl/C, you should immediately exit to save your edits; otherwise, if the system fails, you may not be able to recover your work. This restriction does not apply to buffer-change journaling, which is the EVE default.
> Ctrl/K | LEARN. Starts a learn sequence so you can bind several keystrokes (commands, text, or both) to a single key.
> Ctrl/R | REMEMBER. Ends a learn sequence and prompts you to press the key you want to define for it. EVE defines Ctrl/W as REFRESH.
> Ctrl/Z | EXIT. Ends the editing session and writes out the current buffer and asks whether to write out any other buffers if they were modified. To emulate EDT-style exit-to-line-mode, redefine Ctrl/Z as DO.
> F12 Ctrl/H BACKSPACE | EDT Backspace. The command SET FUNCTION KEYS DECWINDOWS overrides the EDT definition, redefining F12 as START OF LINE (the EVE command), which is slightly different from the EDT definition.
> Cursor | By default EVE uses a free cursor, which you can move anywhere in the buffer regardless of the shape of your text. To enable an EDT-style bound cursor, use SET CURSOR BOUND. The EDT Character key (KP3) uses bound-cursor motion even if the cursor is set to free.
> Exiting | EXIT creates a new file (or new version of a file) only if you made changes to the buffer and have not yet written it out. QUIT discards your edits, but if you made changes to the buffer, EVE asks you to confirm that you want to quit. Also, on exiting or quitting, if you changed attributes and have not saved them, EVE asks if you want to save the changes.
> Input file | When you invoke EVE, if you do not specify a file on the command line, EVE creates an empty buffer named MAIN, whereas VAX EDT prompts you to specify a file. Also, you can use wildcards to specify the file, for example, *.TXT.
> Journaling | By default, EVE uses buffer-change journaling, which creates a journal file for each text buffer. You can recover buffers individually and even from different editing sessions. You can also use keystroke journaling and recovery, similar to that in EDT.
> Mode | Some commands or keys depend on the mode of the buffer---insert or overstrike, for example, the EDT Delete Character and EDT SpecIns keys.
> Paste buffer | Commands or keys to copy, cut, and paste text use either the INSERT HERE buffer or the DECwindows clipboard, depending on your setting. See the description of the SET CLIPBOARD command.
> Scrolling | SET SCROLL MARGINS corresponds to SET CURSOR in VAX EDT, except EVE scroll margins are measured from the top and the bottom, respectively. For example, with a 24-line screen (21-line main window), SET SCROLL MARGINS 5 6 is equivalent to SET CURSOR 5:15 in VAX EDT. The default settings are 0 0 (scrolling begins when you move past the top or bottom of the window).
> Searches | Searches follow EVE rules for case sensitivity and direction (see help on FIND). Because EVE does not treat RETURN and ENTER differently, as EDT does, search strings cannot contain a carriage return. However, you can use WILDCARD FIND for these searches, or use SET FIND WHITESPACE to enable searching across line breaks.
> Selections | Commands or keys that work on a standard linear range also work on a box. For example, you can use BOX SELECT and the EDT ChngCase key.
> Shift right | SHIFT RIGHT and SHIFT LEFT move the window right and left relative to the buffer; the EDT "nokeypad" commands SHL and SHR move the buffer relative to the window. Thus, in EVE, SHIFT RIGHT 8 is equivalent to SHL in EDT and column 9 of your text appears in the leftmost column of the screen.
> Startup file | By default, EVE tries to execute an initialization file named EVE$INIT.EVE, looking first in your current directory and, if necessary, in SYS$LOGIN. This is roughly equivalent to using an EDTINI.EDT file with VAX EDT.

## SET KEYPAD NOEDT

### Format

> SET KEYPAD NOEDT

### Description

> The SET KEYPAD NOEDT command disables (undefines) the EDT keypad, restoring the default keypad for the type of terminal you are using. SET KEYPAD NOEDT is the same as SET KEYPAD NUMERIC or SET KEYPAD VT100, depending on the type of terminal you are using.

> Keys defined with DEFINE KEY, LEARN, or SET GOLD KEY commands remain defined. However, any learn sequences that use EDT keys will not work properly because the keys are now undefined or defined differently. SET KEYPAD NOEDT cancels the current GOLD key if it was set by enabling the EDT keypad; it does not cancel the GOLD key if you set it with the SET GOLD KEY command.

> SET KEYPAD NUMERIC
> SET KEYPAD VT100

## SET KEYPAD NOWPS

### Format

> SET KEYPAD NOWPS

### Description

> The SET KEYPAD NOWPS command disables (undefines) the WPS keypad, restoring the default keypad for the type of terminal you are using. SET KEYPAD NOWPS is the same as SET KEYPAD NUMERIC or SET KEYPAD VT100, depending on the type of terminal you are using.

> Keys defined with DEFINE KEY, LEARN, or SET GOLD KEY commands remain defined. However, any learn sequences that use WPS keys will not work properly because the keys are now undefined or defined differently. SET KEYPAD NOWPS cancels the current GOLD key if it was set by enabling the WPS keypad; it does not cancel the GOLD key if you set it with the SET GOLD KEY command.

> Disabling the WPS keypad does not restore free cursor motion. To restore free cursor motion, use the SET CURSOR FREE command.

#### Related Commands

> SET KEYPAD NUMERIC
> SET KEYPAD VT100
> SET KEYPAD WPS

## SET KEYPAD NUMERIC

### Format

> SET KEYPAD NUMERIC

### Description

> The SET KEYPAD NUMERIC command sets the numeric keypad to the default state, canceling the current keypad setting (EDT, VT100, or WPS). SET KEYPAD NUMERIC is the default except on VT100-series terminals. The command is not valid on VT100-series terminals. Figure 2-1 shows the EVE default keypad.

> Using SET KEYPAD NUMERIC to cancel the EDT, WPS, or VT100 keypad does not affect keys defined with DEFINE KEY, LEARN, or SET GOLD KEY commands. However, any learn sequences that use EDT or WPS keys will not work properly because the keys are now undefined or defined differently. SET KEYPAD NUMERIC cancels the current GOLD key if it was set by the EDT or WPS keypad; it does not cancel the GOLD key if you set it with the SET GOLD KEY command.

## SET KEYPAD VT100

### Format

> SET KEYPAD VT100

### Description

> The SET KEYPAD VT100 command enables the VT100-style keypad and cancels the current keypad setting (EDT, NUMERIC, or WPS). This is the default setting on VT100-series terminals. Figure 2-2 shows the EVE default keys on VT100-series terminals.

> Using SET KEYPAD VT100 to cancel the EDT, WPS, or VT100 keypad does not affect keys defined with DEFINE KEY, LEARN, or SET GOLD KEY commands. However, any learn sequences that use EDT or WPS keys will not work properly because the keys are now undefined or defined differently. SET KEYPAD VT100 cancels the current GOLD key if it was set by the EDT or WPS keypad.

> If you want the VT100 keypad enabled for all or most editing sessions---even if you run EVE on VT300- or VT200-series terminals---do either of the following:

> - Put the SET KEYPAD VT100 command in an initialization file (EVE$INIT.EVE).
> - Use the SAVE EXTENDED EVE command to create a section file that saves your key definitions.

## SET KEYPAD WPS

### Format

> SET KEYPAD WPS

### Description

> The SET KEYPAD WPS command enables the WPS-style keypad, defines the numeric keypad and other keys, and sets the cursor to bound. There are three ways to keep the WPS keypad for future editing sessions:
> - Put the SET KEYPAD WPS command in an initialization file (EVE$INIT.EVE).
> - Use the SAVE EXTENDED EVE command to create a section file that saves your key definitions.
> - Define the logical name EVE$KEYPAD to WPS before entering the editor.

> Table 2-13 lists the keys defined when you use SET KEYPAD WPS, including any EVE default keys still in effect. If you use DEFINE KEY or LEARN to define any keys, your definitions override the EVE or WPS definitions.
