I. OVERVIEW:
-This version of the EDT emulation package for GNU Emacs is a substantially
-enhanced version of the original. A large part of the original can still be
-found here, of course, but much of it has been modified and quite a bit is
-new. Many of the ideas found here are borrowed from others. In particular,
-some of the code found here was drawn from an earlier re-write of the EDT
-package done at DSC in 1989 by Matthew Frohman.
-
-Send bug fixes, suggestions for enhancements, and corrections to this
-documentation to Kevin Gallagher (kevingal@onramp.net).
+This is Version 4.0 of the EDT Emulation for Emacs 19 and above.
+It comes with special functions which replicate nearly all of EDT's
+keypad mode behavior. It sets up default keypad and function key
+bindings which closely match those found in EDT. Support is
+provided so that users may reconfigure most keypad and function key
+bindings to their own liking.
+
+NOTE: Version 4.0 contains several enhancements. See the
+Enhancements section below for the details.
+
+
+Quick Start:
+
+To start the EDT Emulation, first start Emacs and then enter
+
+ M-x edt-emulation-on
+
+to begin the emulation. After initialization is complete, the
+following message will appear below the status line informing you
+that the emulation has been enabled: "Default EDT keymap active".
+
+ You can have the EDT Emulation start up automatically, each time
+you initiate a GNU Emacs session, by adding the following line to
+your .emacs file:
+
+ (add-hook term-setup-hook 'edt-emulation-on)
+
+IMPORTANT: Be sure to read the rest of this file. It contains very
+ useful information on how the EDT Emulation behaves and how
+ to customize it to your liking.
The EDT emulation consists of the following files:
-edt-user.doc - User instructions (which you are reading now)
-edt.el - EDT Emulation Functions and Default Configuration
-edt-lk201.el - Support for DEC LK-201 Keyboards
-edt-vt100.el - Support for DEC VT-100 (and above) terminals
-edt-mapper.el - Support for Keyboards used under X Windows
-edt-pc.el - Support for the PC AT Keyboard under MS-DOS
-
-Several goals were kept in mind when making this version:
-
- 1. Emulate EDT Keypad Mode commands closely so that current
- EDT users will find that it easy and comfortable to use
- GNU Emacs with a small learning curve;
-
- 2. Make it easy for a user to customize EDT emulation key
- bindings without knowing much about Emacs Lisp;
+edt-user.doc - User Instructions and Sample Customization File
+edt.el - EDT Emulation Functions and Default Configuration
+edt-lk201.el - Built-in support for DEC LK-201 Keyboards
+edt-vt100.el - Built-in support for DEC VT-100 (and above) terminals
+edt-pc.el - Built-in support for PC 101 Keyboards under MS-DOS
+edt-mapper.el - Create an EDT LK-201 Map File for Keyboards Without
+ Built-in Support
+
+Enhancements:
+
+Version 4.0 contains the following enhancements:
+
+ 1. Scroll margins at the top and bottom of the window are now
+ supported. (The design was copied from tpu-extras.el.) By
+ default, this feature is enabled with the top margin set to
+ 10% of the window and the bottom margin set to 15% of the
+ window. To change these settings, you can invoke the function
+ edt-set-scroll-margins in your .emacs file. For example, the
+ following line
+
+ (edt-set-scroll-margins "20%" "25%")
+
+ sets the top margin to 20% of the window and the bottom margin
+ to 25% of the window. To disable this feature, set each
+ margin to 0%. You can also invoke edt-set-scroll-margins
+ interactively while EDT Emulation is active to change the
+ settings for that session.
+
+ NOTE: Another way to set the scroll margins is to use the
+ Emacs customization feature (not available in Emacs 19) to set
+ the following two variables directly:
+
+ edt-top-scroll-margin and edt-bottom-scroll-margin
+
+ Enter the Emacs `customize' command. First select the Editing
+ group and then select the Emulations group. Finally, select
+ the Edt group and follow the directions.
+
+ 2. The SUBS command is now supported and bound to GOLD-Enter by
+ default. (This design was copied from tpu-edt.el.) Note, in
+ earlier versions of EDT Emulation, GOLD-Enter was assigned to
+ the Emacs function `query-replace'. The binding of
+ `query-replace' has been moved to GOLD-/. If you prefer to
+ restore `query-replace' to GOLD-Enter, then use an EDT user
+ customization file, edt-user.el, to do this. See edt-user.doc
+ for details.
+
+ 3. EDT Emulation now also works in XEmacs, including the
+ highlighting of selected text.
+
+ 4. If you access a workstation using an X Server, observe that
+ the initialization file generated by edt-mapper.el will now
+ contain the name of the X Server vendor. This is a
+ convenience for those who have access to their Unix account
+ from more than one type of X Server. Since different X
+ Servers typically require different EDT emulation
+ initialization files, edt-mapper.el will now generate these
+ different initialization files and save them with different
+ names. Then, the correct initialization file for the
+ particular X server in use is loaded correctly automatically.
+
+ 5. Also, edt-mapper.el is now capable of binding an ASCII key
+ sequence, providing the ASCII key sequence prefix is already
+ known by Emacs to be a prefix. As a result of providing this
+ support, some terminal/keyboard/window system configurations,
+ which don't have a complete set of sensible function key
+ bindings built into Emacs in `function-key-map', can still be
+ configured for use with EDT Emulation. (Note: In a few rare
+ circumstances this does not work properly. In particular, it
+ does not work if a subset of the leading ASCII characters in a
+ key sequence are recognized by Emacs as having an existing
+ binding. For example, if the keypad 7 (KP-7) key generates
+ the sequence \"<ESC>Ow\" and \"<ESC>O\" is already bound to a
+ function, pressing KP-7 when told to do so by edt-mapper.el
+ will result in edt-mapper.el incorrectly mapping \"<ESC>O\" to
+ KP-7 and \"w\" to KP-8. If something like this happens to
+ you, it is probably a bug in the support for your keyboard
+ within Emacs OR a bug in the Unix termcap/terminfo support for
+ your terminal OR a bug in the terminal emulation software you
+ are using.)
+
+ 6. The edt-quit function (bound to GOLD-q by default) has been
+ modified to warn the user when file-related buffer
+ modifications exist. It now cautions the user that those
+ modifications will be lost if the user quits without saving
+ those buffers.
+
+
+Goals:
+
+ 1. Emulate EDT Keypad Mode commands closely so that current EDT users
+ will find that it easy and comfortable to use GNU Emacs with a
+ small learning curve;
+
+ 2. Make it easy for a user to customize EDT emulation key bindings
+ without knowing much about Emacs Lisp;
3. Make it easy to switch between the original EDT default bindings
- and the user's customized bindings, without having to exit Emacs.
+ and the user's customized EDT bindings, without having to exit
+ Emacs.

+ 4. Provide support for some TPU/EVE functions not supported in EDT.
5. Provide an easy way to restore ALL original Emacs key bindings,
just as they existed before the EDT emulation was first invoked.

- 6. Support GNU Emacs 19. (Support for GNU Emacs 18 has been dropped.
- Also, although there is some code designed to support Xemacs 19
- (formerly Lucid Emacs), this is not fully implemented at this
- time.
- 7. When running under X, support highlighting of marked text.
+ 6. Support GNU Emacs 19 and higher. (GNU Emacs 18 and below is no
+ longer supported.) XEmacs 19, and above, is also supported.
+
+ 7. Supports highlighting of marked text within the EDT emulation on
+ all platforms on which Emacs supports highlighting of marked text.

9. Support a PC AT keyboard under MS-DOS.
+
\f
II. TERMINALS/KEYBOARDS SUPPORTED:
-Keyboards used under X Windows are supported via the edt-mapper function. The
-first time you invoke the emulation under X, the edt-mapper function is run
-automatically and the user is prompted to identify which keys the emulation is
-to use for the standard keypad and function keys EDT expects (e.g., PF1, PF2,
-etc.). This configuration is saved to disk read each time the emulation is
-invoked.
+Keyboards used under a Window System are supported via the edt-mapper function.

+read each time the emulation is invoked.
+
+In character oriented connections not running a window manager, built-in
+support for the following terminals/keyboards is provided:
+
+ (1) DEC VT-100 series and higher. This includes well behaved VT clones and
+ emulators. If you are using a VT series terminal, be sure that the term
+ environment variable is set properly before invoking emacs.

- (setq term-setup-hook 'edt-emulation-on)
+ (add-hook term-setup-hook 'edt-emulation-on)
A reference sheet is included (later on) listing the default EDT Emulation key
bindings. This sheet is also accessible on line from within Emacs by pressing
User EDT custom keymap active
Once enabled, it is easy to switch back and forth between your customized EDT
-Emulation key bindings and the default EDT Emulation key bindings. It is also
-easy to turn off the emulation. Doing so completely restores the original key
-bindings in effect just prior to invoking the emulation.
-
-Where EDT key bindings and GNU Emacs key bindings conflict, the default GNU
-Emacs key bindings are retained by the EDT emulation by default. If you are a
-diehard EDT user you may not like this. The CUSTOMIZING section explains how
-to change this default.

+
+Emacs binds keys to ASCII control characters and so does the real EDT. Where
+EDT key bindings and GNU Emacs key bindings conflict, the default GNU Emacs key
+bindings are retained by the EDT emulation by default. If you are a diehard
+EDT user you may not like this. The CUSTOMIZING section explains how to change
+this so that the EDT bindings to ASCII control characters override the default
+Emacs bindings.

IV. SPECIAL NOTES FOR SOME PLATFORMS:
Sun Workstations running X:
- Some earlier Sun keyboards do not have arrow keys separate from the
- keypad keys. It is difficult to emulate the full EDT keypad and still
- retain use of the arrow keys on such keyboards.
+ Some earlier Sun keyboards do not have arrow keys separate from the keypad

- The Sun Type 5 keyboard, however, does have separate arrow keys. This
- makes it a candidate for setting up a reasonable EDT keypad emulation.
- Unfortunately, Sun's default X keynames for the keypad keys don't permit
- GNU Emacs to interpret the keypad 2, 4, 6, and 8 keys as something other
- than arrow keys, nor use all the top row of keys for PF1 thru PF4 keys.

+ system, you may find the default X keynames for the keypad keys don't
+ permit Emacs to interpret some or all the keypad keys as something other
+ than arrow keys, numeric keys, Home, PgUP, etc. Both Sun and HP have been
+ particularly guilty of making bizarre keysym assignments to the keypad
+ keys.
+
+ In most cases, the X Windows command, xmodmap, can be used to correct the
+ problem. Here's a sample .xmodmaprc file which corrects this problem on
+ one Sun workstation configuration using an older SunOS release configured
+ with a Sun Type 5 keyboard:

+ the command
+
+ xmodmap -pke
+
+ to get a listing of the actual key codes and the keysyms mapped to them

+
+ Next, feed .xmodmaprc to the xmodmap command and all the Sun Type 5 keypad

- for one you don't use and redefine it to be the NumLock key.
- Basically, you need to clear the NumLock key from being assigned
- as a modifier, assign it to the key of your choice, and then add
- it back as a modifier. (See the "General Notes on Using NumLock

V. HOW DOES THIS EDT EMULATION DIFFER FROM REAL EDT?:

perfect, but most EDT users who have tried the emulation agree that it is
quite good enough to make it easy for die-hard EDT users to move over to using
-GNU Emacs.
+GNU Emacs.
Here's a list of the most important differences between EDT and this GNU Emacs
EDT Emulation. The list is short but you must be aware of these differences
1. Entering repeat counts works a little differently than in EDT.
EDT allows users to enter a repeat count before entering a command that
- accepts repeat counts. For example, when in EDT, pressing these three
- keys in sequence, GOLD 5 KP1, will move the cursor in the current
- direction 5 words.

- using the GOLD key. In Emacs, repeat counts can be entered by using the

ESC key. For example, pressing these keys in sequence, ESC 1 0 KP1, will

-
- Emacs provides another command called universal-argument that can do the
- same thing, plus a few other things. Normally, Emacs has this bound to
- C-u.

+2. EDT's line mode commands and nokeypad mode commands are NOT supported
(with one important exception; see item 8 in the Highlights section
below). Although, at first, this may seem like a big omission, the set of
built-in Emacs commands provides a much richer set of capabilities which
more than make up for this omission.
- To enter Emacs commands not bound to keys, you can press GOLD KP7 or the
- DO key. Emacs will display its own command prompt called Meta-x (M-x).
- You can also invoke this prompt the normal Emacs way by entering ESC x.
+ To enter Emacs commands not bound to keys, you can press GOLD KP7 or the DO

+ keypress Meta-x, where Meta is a special shift key. The Alt key is often
+ mapped to behave as a Meta key. So, you can also invoke this prompt by
+ pressing Meta-x. Typing the sequence "ESC x" will also invoke the prompt.

- time.

+There are three basic functions that do the EDT emulation custom bindings:
+edt-bind-key, edt-bind-gold-key, and edt-bind-function-key.
The first two are for binding functions to keys which are standard across most
keyboards. This makes them keyboard independent, making it possible to define
these key bindings for all terminals in the file edt.el.
-The first, edt-bind-standard-key, is used typically to bind emacs commands to
+The first, edt-bind-key, is used typically to bind emacs commands to
control keys, although some people use it to bind commands to other keys, as
well. (For example, some people use it to bind the VT200 seldom used
back-tick key (`) to the function "ESC-prefix" so it will behave like an ESC
to gold key sequences involving alpha-numeric keys, special character keys,
and control keys.
-The third function, edt-bind-function-key, is terminal dependent and is
-defined in a terminal specific file (see edt-vt100.el for example). It is
-used to bind emacs commands to function keys, to keypad keys, and to gold
-sequences of those keys.
-
-WARNING: Each of the three functions, edt-bind-function-key,
- edt-bind-gold-key, and edt-bind-standard-key, has an optional
- last argument. The optional argument should NOT be used in
- edt-user.el! When the optional argument is missing, each
- function knows to make the key binding part of the user's EDT
- custom bindings, which is what you want to do in edt-user.el!
-
- The EDT default bindings are set up in edt.el by calling these
- same functions with the optional last argument set to "t". So, if
- you decide to copy such function calls from edt.el to edt-user.el
- for subsequent modification, BE SURE TO DELETE THE "t" AT THE END
- OF EACH PARAMETER LIST!

SPECIFYING WORD ENTITIES:
(setq edt-use-EDT-control-key-bindings t)
+
+SETTING SCROLL MARGINS:
+
+Scroll margins at the top and bottom of the window are now supported. (The
+design was copied from tpu-extras.el.) By default, this feature is enabled
+with the top margin set to 10% of the window and the bottom margin set to 15%
+of the window. To change these settings, you can invoke the function
+edt-set-scroll-margins in your .emacs file. For example, the following line
+
+ (edt-set-scroll-margins "20%" "25%")
+
+sets the top margin to 20% of the window and the bottom margin to 25% of the
+window. To disable this feature, set each margin to 0%. You can also invoke
+edt-set-scroll-margins interactively while EDT Emulation is active to change
+the settings for that session.
+
+NOTE: Another way to set the scroll margins is to use the Emacs customization
+feature (not available in Emacs 19) to set the following two variables
+directly:
+
+ edt-top-scroll-margin and edt-bottom-scroll-margin
+
+Enter the Emacs `customize' command. First select the Editing group and then
+select the Emulations group. Finally, select the Edt group and follow the
+directions.
