Use Current Key Assignment
Purpose
Temporarily disables preemptive macros.
Default Syntax
"
Description
This command interprets the next key pressed as a command, rather than a
preemptive key assigned to a macro.
When you define a macro using the Define Macro command or Capture Macro
command, you can specify that the assigned key preempt the same key
assigned to an HP EDIT command. For instance, you may want to assign the
s key to a preemptive macro so that every time you press the s key, HP
EDIT executes the macro rather than the Scroll Forward command. However,
you may also want to temporarily disable the preemptive macro so that the
s key performs the command, rather than the macro to which the s key is
assigned. Use Current Key Assignment performs this special function.
When you execute the command, HP EDIT informs you that the next key
pressed will not execute a preemptive macro. After you subsequently
press the key, all defined preemptive macros are enabled again.
Procedure
To temporarily disable preemptive macros:
1. Press the " key. HP EDIT displays preemptive macros disabled for
next keypress on the message line.
