The following materials are available: - a Facit_Commands for the Facit: located in !!Rational!Local.Rational_Like_Facit_Keymap - a keymap template set for the above keymap: located in !!Rational!Local.Keymap_Document_Ps (postscript document) (the original -- in case you want to change it -- is located in the Facit_Keymap file in the "MacDraw Stuff" folder on the "General User" disk which can be accessed via the MacServe desk accessory when booted from one of the Network disks -- see me if you need help) The above-mentioned Facit_Commands file is populated with comments, some of which follow: -- OBJECTIVE: -- -- PROVIDE A KEYMAP WHICH MAKES THE TRANSITION FROM A RATIONAL TO A FACIT -- TERMINAL AS EASY AS POSSIBLE FOR CURRENT RATIONAL TERMINAL USERS. -- -- METHOD: -- -- PROVIDE A SET OF KEY BINDINGS WHEREIN THE GENERAL MODEL IS TO USE [ESC] -- AS A WHEREVER [META] IS USED AS A MODIFIER ON THE RATIONAL TERMINAL. -- UNFORTUNATELY, THE [ESC] KEY IS A SEPARATE KEYSTROKE. -- -- SUPPORT A KEYMAP WHICH CLOSELY RESEMBLES THE RATIONAL KEYMAP -- INCLUDING -- THE HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL PLACEMENT OF ENTRIES -- GIVEN THE LIMITATIONS -- WITH RESPECT TO THE NUMBER OF ENTRIES POSSIBLE, THE FUNCTIONING OF THE -- [CTRL] AND [SHIFT] KEY MODIFIERS, AND THE [ESC]/[META] KEY EQUIVALENCE. -- -- SUPPORT A CURSOR/ITEM KEY-BASED TRAVERSAL MODEL WHICH PROVIDES A COMMON -- SET OF BROWSING OPERATIONS AND DOES NOT REQUIRE THE HANDS TO BE -- REPOSITIONED WHILE PERFORMING THIS SET OF OPERATIONS. -- SUPPORT COMMON BROWSING OPERATIONS WITHOUT REPOSTIONING HANDS -- -- OPERATIONS INCLUDE: -- - A CURSOR KEY TRAVERSAL MODEL USING ESC_ KEYS -- (SIMILAR TO USING C_M_ ON THE RATIONAL TERMINAL) -- - IMAGE UP/DOWN USING S_ KEYS -- - WORD LEFT/RIGHT USING [ESC]-[OBJECT] AND [ESC]-[WINDOW] -- -- NOTE: THE SHIFT KEY DOES NOT MODIFY THE LEFT AND RIGHT ARROWS -- Some comments regarding the Facit terminal: THE GOOD: - display which is "good" to the eyes - total of 72 lines of display - item and operation key placement is similar to the Rational terminal - excellent keyboard "feel" (although I realize this is somewhat personal) - good ergonomics with respect to (y-axis) screen and keyboard positioning - certain terminal operations are faster (highlighting is slower, however) THE BAD: - only 12 function keys and limited modifier key capability - control keys do not (auto) repeat and CTRL doesn't modify all keys - cannot turn off the audible bell signal - large footprint - no x-axis screen swivel capability - on occasion, some keystroke "bounce" => double characters THE UGLY: - difficult to see the difference between period/comma & colon/semi-colon Things you should know: Currently, the shifted F12 key generates the same code as the NUMERIC_COMMA key. This will be fixed with a later software release (as the terminal is programmed by the R1000, in this case). If setting up a new terminal, setup/programming instructions are available from KML. ESC ESC ESC generates a single ESC (C_LEFT_BRACKET)
