it's possible to map several EDT functions (delete line, delete word, etc.) to the PC
numeric keypad.
ZTreeWin Forum -
the most versatile Windows file manager for power users. If you are administering PCs, or dealing
with millions of files across many drives, look no further. It's a superset of the legendary
XTree Gold DOS file manager that was overtaken by inferior "commander" clones.
OpenVMS projects and trivia
 |
Using the so-called "EDT" numeric keypad's 18 keys on DEC's keyboards as
the application navigation and control center, is a brilliant
User Interface invention. It also works well with standard PC keyboard's 17 keys.
But its use is not exclusive to the EDT family of editors; many interactive
applications have mapped their actions to the keypad.
