[comp.sys.amiga] Turbo Cursor

john.russell@canremote.uucp (JOHN RUSSELL) (12/03/89)

If slow cursoring bothers you, use a keymap editor program and change
the strings output when you press ALT-<arrow> and/or CTRL-<arrow>.
A normal arrow key outputs an ESC (or ESC+128? I forget) followed by
A, B, C, or D.  By making the qualified keys output these strings
several times you can simulate a turbo cursor for most programs that
process strings through keymaps.
 
I don't remap the shifted keys since so many programs or input handlers
already assign them special meaning, but I do find that 2 cursor jumps
for ALTed arrows and 4 for CTRLed arrows saves significant time when
doing lots of cursoring.
