CONFIG CTRLKEYS|MOREKEYS|DOT|HIDE|COLOUR|COPYSIZE|FNCSIZE
This command is for changing the default settings.
* CONFIG CTRLKEYS is for command-line-editing-keys-definitions
(great word :). In other words: You can change the meaning of keys
pressed with CTRL (Control) key and some other keys (TAB ^I,
Backspace ^H, Return ^M, Shift-Return ^J, ESC ^[).
"CONFIG CTRLKEYS" shows the current settings,
"CONFIG CTRLKEYS WQSEIX[TYHJMLRVFP" sets the default settings.
To change something, just change the character corresponding to
the key pressed with CTRL. See some lines above for some CTRL-
equivalents.
eg. TAB is same as CTRL-I . So to use CTRL-K instead of TAB, you use:
config ctrlkeys WQSEKX[TYHJMLRVFP
Warning: You may get confused if you define one key twice.
If you want to get really confused, try:
config ctrlkeys WQSEKX[TIYMJHRVFP
* "CONFIG MOREKEYS" shows the keys that can be pressed inside MORE .
The uppercase keys represent the cursor keys, default is: ABCDSTqsnjwrh
It works similar to CONFIG CTRLKEYS. To use RETURN key to exit MORE use:
config morekeys ABCDST^Msnjwrh (see also ECHO )
* "CONFIG DOT character" replaces the dot character (.) where it has a
special meaning ( ECHO , SEARCH , PUTMSG , dir back, force disk, abbreviation)
eg. config dot *
* "CONFIG HIDE pattern" sets the files that are hidden by DIR
and filename completion . The pattern must contain at least
one wild card .
"CONFIG HIDE" shows the current settings (by default none).
eg. config hide {display current hiding pattern}
config hide "" {unset the hiding pattern}
config hide *.info {ignore *.info-files}
config hide *.info|*.bak {hide files ending in .info and .bak}
config hide ~*.tex|*.dvi {show only *.tex and *.dvi-files}
* "CONFIG COLOUR colours" defines the use of colours. "colours" has to be
a 8 digit number. The digit at position x defines to what colour number
the default colour x is mapped to. Everything clear ? (I think no!)
Thsi is global. Do not forget to make a CLS afterwards.
eg. config colour 01234567 {sets the default colours}
config colour 01111111 {switches to one colour mode, very useful
with OS3.0+ to speed up scrolling}
config colour 01233321 {if you want to use only 4 colours}
* "CONFIG COPYSIZE bytesize" sets the size of the memory block used for
COPY, MOVE and SPLIT to "bytesize" bytes. The default setting 50000
semms to be a good value for both harddisk and floppydisk. If you
only use floppydisk try:
config copysize 20000
and to display the current setting use:
config copysize
* "CONFIG FNCSIZE bytesize" sets the size of the memory block used to
store the last used directory at filename completing (=FNC).
If this memory block (=FNC buffer) is too small, FNC has to read the
directory again every time you press TAB and TAB cycling does not work.
To save memory you can try:
config fncsize 2000 for 2000 bytes FNC buffer or
config fncsize 0 for no FNC buffer at all
and to display the current setting use:
config fncsize
