You can look at
$usepop/pop/help/vedkeys
for an overview of the keyboard-independent facilities (e.g. using
an Emacs style of interaction).
For students here asking for help when accessing poplog via a
dumb-terminal interface, e.g. over a telnet link, I've produced this
which may be useful:
http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/poplog/teach/telnetkeys
I don't know how Ved in windows poplog has been set up by default,
though I expect that to some extent it will depend on the keyboard?
Read in an unbreakable teach or help file, e.g.
ENTER help define
then try every function key in sight to see what it does, if it does
anything. You can't damage the file, as it will be protected against
writing.
ENTER hkeys
may or may not give you a useful keymap.
ENTER hkey
enables you to test one key. It prints onto the status line the
characters transmitted by the key and if appropriate reads into ved
some relevant help or ref file describing the function invoked.
Once you know what the function keys transmit you can make them do
what you want using either vedsetkey or if you prefer a more
readable format:
vedset keys
....
endvedset
See HELP VEDSETKEY, HELP VEDSET
There's also ENTER dk for defining by doing. See HELP DK.
It needs a lot of improvements!
