I am not sure you can have [F9] be part of the new [F9] definition… Javier, Javier Valencia, PE O: 913-829-0888 H: 913-397-9605 C: 913-915-3137 From: karentellef via RBASE-L [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, June 01, 2016 9:45 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [RBASE-L] - I need to redefine a function key. Yep I understand! I've never tried this -- would a keymap like this work: set keymap [F9] = [F9][F8]
That might work, never tried it! If it does work then you could either set it on entry into the form, and set it off when you exit, or if you want [F9] to behave that way all the time (like while in a data browser from the R> prompt) then set the keymap in your startup program.

Karen, I am in a form. I have a delete button on the screen with code below. Our data entry people prefer using just the keyboard and pressing F9 is a lot quicker than tabbing to the Delete button. I am editing 4 separate tables on the form and whichever record has the focus will be deleted.

Dennis: Are you talking about being in a form or being in the data browser? If in a form, you can take the delete button out of any navigator control you have located and instead have a button for delete; there you can delete the row and do a "nextrow". You would also probably set a keymap so that the [F9] key is something like a [tab] If in the data browser, I can't think of a way to keymap the [F9] to do a delete then a nextrow. When I first switched from DOS to windows that drove me crazy! In DOS you were always put in the next row which made it easy to delete blocks of data. In windows I have to remember to put myself on the last row I want to delete, then I work my way "up".

The F9 key is a delete. It deletes and places the focus on the previous record. I want to delete and place focus on the next record. There are occasions in my application that several records need to be deleted and this would reduce the steps required by the user.
