["String key mapping
To map string (function) keys, use the *mapstr* (see the *mapkey*(M)
<http://osr5doc.ca.caldera.com:457/cgi-bin/man/man?mapkey+M> manual
page) utility. *mapstr* modifies the string mapping table where function
keys are defined. "]
aaa dude... would be nice if we could only do such a thing on a
javascript (or something that comes within laszlo) and, by some kind of
magic, the O.S started to mapping keys on the way we want to our software.
anyway, you tell that in your application you filter the keys on ontext
handler and can deal with this ctrl+j problem...
can you give more details about this?
pleeeease? :)
