Is there a macro key package that could be used to put emacs
commands into Word (4)? E.g. <escape>-f would go forward
one word, ^x^c would quit, etc. In other words, what's
needed is the ability to assign a macro not just to a single
(possibly modified with the command, option, and/or shift
keys) but to a sequence, like ^x^c.
Can this sort of thing be done in NISUS?

I think QuicKeys will allow you to do just that, through a combination of aliases and sequences. (Keep in mind that Word has its own lovely set of keyboard macros, like command-right arrow for forward one word, but if you're addicted to E-macs...) I use the mouse less and less nowadays, thanks to Quickeys. It's wunnerful. [Just a satisfied customer, as they say.] >Can this sort of thing be done in NISUS?

I don't see how to use Quickeys to get a SEQUENCE of (possibly modified) keystrokes to stand for a command, e.g. <escape> followed by f to stand for the command "move forward one word." Is there a way to use Quickeys or some other system to bind a key like <escape> to a complex conditional command: "Press a key, if it is "f" then go forward a word, if it is "b" then go back a word, ..."? -- Gilbert Harman Princeton University Cognitive Science Laboratory 221 Nassau Street, Princeton, NJ 08542 ghh@princeton.edu HARMAN@PUCC.BITNET

You have practically answered your own question. In QuicKeys, there is a number of things you can define, one of which is a SEQUENCE. Therefore, first define the escape key (as anything, or even leave undefined), and then use a sequence to first choose the escape, and then to choose some keystroke. A sequence of keystrokes can be defined thorought the "define text" part of QuickKeys. The control key can be simulated by the ^, i.e. control-d would be "^d" (without quotes...) I'm not sure if you can define ESC through this part, but if you can, then you wouldn't even need to define the ESC keystroke. Jeff Baum cs132087@cs.brown.edu
