knames
Description
Used internally by PTC ALD in the startdos.3ad file to tell PTC ALD the names of your system's special keys (e.g. F1+F12 function keys, Alt + ... and Ctrl - ... combinations). It has two slightly different formats. Each knames macro can configure the names of a range of key codes (start code to end code). This range is followed by a prefix to each key name, for example, "Ctrl-", and this is then followed by the key names themselves.
Syntax
knames start code:n end code:n prefix:s? key name:s
start code
The first key code in the range being defined.
end code
The last key code in the range being defined. Where only one key name is being defined this will be the same as start code.
prefix
The key name prefix.
key name
The name(s) of each key being defined.
Additional Information
If the range consists of only one character then the prefix string is omitted and the full character name is specified.
