- APPENDIX H
- KEY LABEL ABBREVIATIONS
-
- When creating a key label dictionary, enter the name of the key you wish
- labeled onto the first line of a standard ASCII text file. Enclose the key
- in brackets []. Then, on the next line, enter the label you wish voiced
- whenever the labeled key is pressed.
-
- Many keys use abbreviations when used as a part of a key label dictionary.
- Users of ProKey and other macro processors may already be familiar with many
- of these standard key abbreviations. Below is a list of keys and the
- abbreviations used to represent them.
-
- [CTRL], [ALT] and [CAPS]: These abbreviations represent the three "shifted"
- keyboard states of Control, Alt and Shift respectively. Enter the
- abbreviation as is and without blank spaces to represent the "shifted" state
- of any key. CTRL-F1, for instance, would appear as [CTRLF1]. ALT F2 as
- [ALTF2] and SHIFT F3 as [CAPSF3]. It matters not whether you enter the
- abbreviations in upper or lower case letters. Vocal-Eyes will accept either.
-
- You do not have to use one of the shifted states. For example, you could
- have an entry like [F1] which would simply mean the F1 key by itself.
- However, if you wish to use a shifted state, you can only use one at a time.
- For example, [ALTCAPSF1] is invalid. You cannot have ALT-SHIFT-F1. You
- could have ALT-F1 or SHIFT-F1 but not both at the same time.

- Also all of the Cursor pad keys cannot be used.

- Below are some examples using the above information:
-
- [ALTA] - Stands for ALT-A
- [CAPSDELETE] - Stands for SHIFT-cursor pad DELETE
- [CTRLSCROLL] - Stands for CONTROL-SCROLL LOCK
- [ALT0] - Stands for ALT-0 on standard keyboard
- [ALTK0] - Stands for ALT-0 on keypad
- [ENTER] - Stands for the standard ENTER key only
- [KENTER] - Stands for the ENTER key on the keypad only
- [-] - Stands for the dash key
- [ALT-] - Stands for ALT-DASH
- [CUP] - Stands for the up arrow key on the cursor pad
- [UP] -Stands for the up arrow key on the keypad
-
- Below is a listing of an actual key label dictionary. This is a small
- example of what you could do for WordPerfect:
-
- [F1]
- cancel
- [CAPSF1]
- setup
- [ALTF1]
- thesaurus
- [CTRLF1]
- shell
-
- As you can see, this covers all of the F1 combinations for WordPerfect. This
- would tell Vocal-Eyes to speak "CANCEL" when the F1 key is pressed. To speak
- "SETUP" when SHIFT-F1 is pressed, speak "THESAURUS" when ALT-F1 is pressed
- and speak "SHELL" when CTRL-F1 is pressed. Remember you can have Vocal-Eyes
- speak anything you want by placing the verbal text immediately after the key
- definition. You are limited only by the buffer space you allocated when you
- started up Vocal-Eyes. The key label buffer defaults to 1024 bytes or
- characters if you did not specify something else.
