Function Key Assignments
It is possible to map the keyboard function keys to Xic operations.
-
- FNKey text
The keyboard function keys, usually labeled F1 - F12, can be mapped
to the name of a menu button. Pressing that function key is then
equivalent to pressing the named menu button. The text is the
internal name for the command, which is generally a short mnemonic of
five characters or fewer. These names are displayed in the pop-up
``tooltip'' which appears when the mouse pointer is positioned over a
command button, after a short delay. These names are also generally
provided in the help system topic describing the command. In the User Menu, for user scripts, the name which appears on the menu
button is the appropriate name to use.
The menu containing the named button must be active for the function
key to have effect. The mappings are completely defined by the user
-- there are no defaults. Pressing an unmapped function key has no
effect on Xic. Note that another program or the window manager may
redirect function key presses. It may be necessary to disable these
other mappings to use the function keys with Xic.
