For full use !Shortkey requires access to !FormEd or equivalent.
Introduction
------------
!Shortkey provides a means of a driving keyboard input from icons on the screen. The
window design & keyboard substitutes are controlled by the template file. Selection
of an appropriate icon will insert the relevant keys into the keyboard buffer.
Supplied Template
-----------------
The supplied template is for Impression, it is not meant to be a definitive template,
but just an example. Feel free to modify a COPY !!! of the template or create your own.
Creating your Own Templates
---------------------------
In order to create your own keyboard templates, you will need access to !FormED or
equivalent. The following assumes that you have already familiarised yourself with
creating Templates.
To create your own templates.
1) Create a window called keys.
2) Create any Icons that you require to produce keystrokes.
3) In order for the icon to produce keystrokes, you must define it to be
an Indirected icon. The validation string is the string that will be
inserted into the keyboard. Note: The string is passed though GSTran.
Keys is a text file that documents some of the GSTran values that
may be used. The easiest, is to use the decimal value which you
include within <> brackets i.e. F1 is <129>.
Limitations
-----------
The following limitations apply to this release, they may well be lifted in
a future release. ( The first thing is to see if it useful ).
The template must contain less than 50 icons.
An individual validation string must be < 256 characters.

as long as the following points are observed.
1) Program credits are not changed. ( You can put your credits in the window )
2) Credit is given to the original !Shortkey in any documentation you provide.
