Try entering "keylist off".
This keylist stuff is bogus.
What does this do? I'm unfamiliar with keylist, and don't see that
typing keylist off and keylist on does anything. (I called up two
different keys with keylist off and with keylist on)

I wouldn't mind getting rid of all of the keylists except one for ISPF
and another for SDSF. Entering HELP from this page doesn't get me
anywhere.
In general, there are two sets of keylists: the global set, that
remain fixed as you go from panel to panel, and the keylist set,
where a collection of function key assignments is tied to each
page.
The "keylist on" command turns on keylists and turns off the
global key assignments; you will not necessarily notice this
unless you move to a variety of panels and try different keys.
Or, if you say "pfshow on", a collection of key assignments
will display at the bottom of each panel and you might notice
there that the key assignments have changed. This is why you
may have to visit multiple panels and change the keys to the
way you want them. And be sure to logoff then, for the settings
to be preserved across logons in the future.
The "keylist off" command turns off keylists and turns on the
global key assignments; now your key assignments will stay the
same as you move from panel to panel.
Except... every ISPF application runs under an application ID
(applid), and there can be different keylists and global keys
for different applid's. So even if you have global keys set on,
you may find that some applications do not use the global keys
you have set (SDSF is a classic example).
Function key related commands:
keylist {on|off} - described above
zkeys - display a panel for setting the global keys
keys - if keylists are off, same as zkeys; if keylists
are on, show a panel for working with keylists
(pretty much the panel you have shown above)
pfshow {on|off|tailor} - "on" turns on the key display
at the bottom of the panel; "off" turns it off;
"tailor" brings up a panel that allows you to
specify, in broad categories, what keys to
display
fka {on|short|off|prefix|noprefix} - what to display in
the function key area (bottom of the panel) if
you are using keylists
on - show all keys that have labels
short - only display keys that have been identified
to be displayed in the short list
off - do not show any keys in the fka
prefix - when running in GUI mode, display keys
as push buttons with a key name:
F1=Help
noprefix - in GUI mode, display keys with just
the command or label assigned to it:
Help
If you have the keylist panel (shown above) displayed,
you can then modify any existing keylist or create new
ones, or delete existing ones.
<ad> all this, and a lot more, is included in our 2
day course "ISPF Update", which helps experienced ISPF
users catch up with all the new features and facilities
that ISPF has introduced over the last 10 years or so.
