Keys that you can bind to
The following is a summary of the keys that can be bound to in the DOS and
OS/2 versions of AE.
The DOS version of AE uses Int-16h, functions 0 and 1 to read the keyboard,
or possibly functions 10h and 11h if support for 102 key keyboard is found.
Note that if 102 key keyboard support does not exist, then some of the keys
listed below will not be bindable.
The OS/2 version of AE uses KbdCharIn() to read its characters.
Most of the keys accessible via these mechanisms are available for binding.
~X means Shift-X, ^X means Ctrl-X and .X means Alt-X.
Ctrl-keys :-
^A ^B ^C ^D ^F ^G ^H ^I ^J ^L ^L ^M ^N ^O
^P ^Q ^R ^S ^T ^U ^V ^X ^Y ^Z ^\ ^] ^^ ^_
NOTE: ^@ is not bindable, its ASCII NUL.
NOTE: ^[ is not bindable, its the Esc key.
Function-keys :-
F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 F6 F7 F8 F9 F10 F11 F12
~F1 ~F2 ~F3 ~F4 ~F5 ~F6 ~F7 ~F8 ~F9 ~F10 ~F11 ~F12
^F1 ^F2 ^F3 ^F4 ^F5 ^F6 ^F7 ^F8 ^F9 ^F10 ^F11 ^F12
.F1 .F2 .F3 .F4 .F5 .F6 .F7 .F8 .F9 .F10 .F11 .F12
Cursor pad keys :-

Left Right ^Left ^Right
End Down PgDn ^End ^Down ^PgDn
Ins Del ~Tab ^Tab .Tab
Alt-keys :-

.N .O .P .Q .R .S .T .U .V .W .X .Y .Z
.0 .1 .2 .3 .4 .5 .6 .7 .8 .9 .- .=
Ctrl-Break is not bindable, although it can be used to abort searching
functions.
NOTE: On UNIX and other environments the key names available for binding
to will vary immensily, with the notable exception that the
Ctrl-keys are almost always accessible. This is why the default
AE configuration makes extensive use of Ctrl-keys.
