I didn't realize that I could map the unused charachters on the keyboard in vi until you pointed this out, now I am doing this a lot. Thanks Maarten. But, it would be even more helpful if I could map unused keys (the L, F, and R keys) in the SunView environment. I figure that you should be able to do this because SunView catches L5 and L7 and does special things with them. Does anyone know how to map these keys as macros in the SunView windows environment?

Does anyone know how to map these keys as macros in the SunView > windows environment? You can create a file called .ttyswrc in your home directory which binds character sequences to function keys. Here is part of mine: mapi L2 ^Xe mapi L3 ^X( mapi L4 ^X) mapi F1 \Ej mapi F2 \E( mapi F3 \E3 See the man page for shelltool for more info. This bindings apply to any tty window created in SunView. Bug alert: If you create a .ttyswrc, you will change the way in which function key events are delivered to event interposers on tty windows. To wit: if a function key has a .ttyswrc entry, the true function event (shift F2, or whatever) will be delivered to your interposer. If no .ttyswrc entry exists, the ASCII escape sequence (ESC [ 2 0 3 z, or whatever) is delivered instead. For reliable handling of function events, your programs should be able to parse and translate ASCII sequences into function key events. This is a gross bug in the notifier. The latest version of tooltool (available from either the sun-spots archives on titan.rice.edu, or via anonymous ftp from trantor.harris-atd.com (26.13.0.98) in /pub/suntools/tooltool) has a module called func_fix.c which will perform function key translation for any interposer.
