- CTRLKEY - extra control key functions
- =====================================
-
- One of the things that anoys me about the 84 key keyboard is the
- lack of a second control key. CTRLKEY overcomes this problem by
- turning the keypad "5" into a second control key. It also
- changes the "-" key on the numeroc keypad to produce control K
- when it is pressed which is a boon for die hard WordStar users
- like me. Both of these functions are disabled if Num Lock or
- Scroll Lock are engaged.
-
- While there are a number of keyboard macro programs that can do
- the same thing (I use Smartkey almost all the time) CTRLKEY has
- the virtue of being small enough (500 bytes) to be loaded all the
- time where as I sometimes don't have room for Smartkey.
-
-
- Incompatibilities.
-
- CTRLKEY will usually clash (non-distructively) with keyboard
- macro programs such as Smartkey but if you have such a program
- loaded then you don't really need CTRLKEY. The effects of
- CTRLKEY will also be over-ridden by keyboard accellerators if it
- is loaded before them.
