[comp.sys.mac] BREAK key in KERMIT

malik@ut-emx.UUCP (Nadeem Malik) (09/30/88)

Does anyone know which key on the MacPlus maps to the BREAK key in Kermit?

Thanks, in advance.

This is one of the many nice things about Mac Kermit (version 0.9 (40)).  Go
to the "settings" menu, select "Set key macros", then pick *any* key and
hit it.  A dialog box will pop up: type "\break" or "\longbreak", hit
the "OK" button, and you now have a break key!  I use the "clear" key on
the Mac Plus keypad.

This function is especially nice with our DataDesk keyboard for quick and
painless use of all those function keys!  Make sure you remember to save
your new settings, though since Kermit *doesn't* remind you to do so when
you quit...(oh well, nothing's perfect :-)

Can I define a NULL key as well?  My emacsing is suffering because
<command>-SPACE (vt100 ctrl-space)  doesn't send a null, and <command>-shift-2
(ctrl-@) ejects the disk in the external drive, as expected.

You might give CMD-2 (NO SHIFT!) a try - I have found that to work on
a couple of programs.

When you select "set key macros" from the settings menu, you are first asked
to pick a key to program.  After that, you enter the characters you want to
send.  At this point a "help button" appears summarizing your options.  You
can send any character you want by entering its octal code, so to send a null,
enter \000 and it should work.
