- HOTMOD is a program that allows you to reassign the hot keys in the Integrated
- Development Environment of Turbo Pascal 6.0.
-
- To use HOTMOD:
-
- 1. Compile the program to disk to create HOTMOD.EXE. (You can compile to
- memory if you really want to. Just remember that any hot key changes you
- make while in the IDE will not take effect until you exit to DOS and
- execute the modified TURBO.EXE.)
-
- 2. Run HOTMOD in the same directory that contains your TURBO.EXE.
-
- 3. HOTMOD displays a menu showing all hot key commands and their current
- key assignments.
-
- 4. Using the cursor arrow keys, move the cursor to the hot key that you want
- to modify.
-
- 5. Press the key that you want to use as the new hot key for the selected
- command. The name of the new key will appear in place of the old
- assignment. Only keys that return extended key codes are allowed. These
- are listed in Appendix B, Table B.2 of the Turbo Pascal 6.0. Programmer's
- Guide. If you press an invalid key, the program will beep.
-
- If you prefer, you can disable a hot key by pressing Ctrl-@. Once a
- hot key has been disabled, that key is then available to be assigned
- to an editor function or macro by using Borland's TEMC program.
-
- 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until you have made all desired changes. When you
- are finished, press the Esc key. If you have made any changes, HOTMOD
- displays the message
-
- Save changes to TURBO.EXE (Y/N) ?
-
- Type 'Y' if you want to save the changes, or 'N' if you want to ignore
- them.
-
- HOTMOD attempts to change the hot key helps in the menus and on the status
- line for any hot key you change. This only works if the name of the new key
- fits into the same number of characters as the old key. For example "Alt-F10"
- would fit into the space formerly used by "Ctrl-F1", but "Shift-F10" would not.
- If the new key name does not fit, or the hot key function is disabled, HOTMOD
- will substitute asterisks in place of the old key name.
