Numeric Keypad ENTER key question

[vbandke]

Hi everyone,

I am new to SlickEdit, and use it mostly in the ISPF type emulation.  My problem/issue is that my other braincell is set up in such a way that it uses

• The ENTER key as NEWLINE
• The right control key as ENTER
• The left control key as ENTER
• The numeric keypad enter key as ENTER

Now, I am able to set the key bindings for the first three of these, but haven't found a way to set the fourth.  Obviously I am overlooking something.  Question is, what ?  Oh, and I am trying this on a computer with a German keyboard, if that makes any difference.

Seems that SE currently makes no difference between ENTER and PAD-ENTER (in fact PAD-ENTER is an 'invalid event').
You could use an add. tool like 'Autohotkey' (http://de.autohotkey.com) to remap NumpadEnter to e.g. Shift-Ctrl-Enter or just to RControl in your case) which is a valid key combination in SE. But that's merely a workaround and you should send a feature request to support@slickedit.com.

Thanks for your quick and helpful answer.  I will take both routes, i.e. I'll try the autohotkey tool, and will ask for a bugfix/feature addition.

Good luck with setting up everything you need (at the first place) ! It's hard but it's really worth it...
Did you know that there is also a SlickEdit book available [ISBN: 978-0-470-12215-0] ? IMO it's a very good supplement to the product docs.

BTW: There are even more maybe useful settings available w/o GUI support.
So don't hesitate to use a really useful SE feature - the forums

Thanks for the suggestion.  The book has just been ordered.

Where would I find thoses, or an overview of them?

Where would I find thoses, or an overview of them?

There is a chapter in the Help>Appendix>Configuration Variables, but it maybe doesn't cover all of them.
There is an add. 'overview' in your <SE config-dir (see Help->About)>\vusrdefs.e file. You know - only the source tells the truth
Their names often give a certain idea about the purpose and quite a number of them are commented in the product sources.
But for most people it's impossible to know all of them.
Usually someone asks for a certain feature/behaviour in the forum or even better do a 'Search' first. It's quite likely that someone (other users/SlickTeam) already posted something, posts an answer/hint or tell you that it's not (yet) possible as the worst case.

However, quite a lot can be done using the GUI. Id propose to try that before dealing with all the confusing def_<vars>.
