Record & Playback Keystrokes Facility
The record/playback keystrokes facility enables you to eliminate repetitive operations
by using the Fn keys to store, retrieve and display data. The Fn keys can store a total
of 1500 keystrokes. A sequence of recorded keystrokes may be interrupted so that
keystrokes can be entered manually before continuing with the recording or playback.
Note that local Fn key functions cannot be recorded.
The keys used to initiate recording and playback are shown below together with the
equivalent virtual key names which can be used to assign the functions to any key on
the keyboard:
101/102 Key Keyboard Virtual Key Names
Record: Alt + F7 IB_RECORD
Pause: Shift + Pause IB_PAUSE
Quit: Alt + Escape IB_QUIT
Play: Alt + F8 IB_PLAY
Edit: Alt + F3 IB_FEDIT
Recording Keystrokes
1. Press Record to enter Record mode.
The status line will display RECRD and a number from 0-1500 indicating the
number of new keystrokes that may be stored. A series of boxes displayed to the
right represent the Fn keys. A solid box indicates that the Fn key in that position is
currently storing recorded keystrokes.
2. Press the Fn key which will store the keystrokes. (On 101/102 keyboards you can
also use Shift + Fn.)
The status line will display R**** F* where R indicates you are in Record mode,
**** is the number of keystrokes that may be stored, and F* is the number of the
Fn key pressed.
Note: If you press a pre-recorded Fn key, its contents will be
replaced with the following keystrokes. You can also remove
the contents of the Fn key before recording by pressing the
Delete key.
3. Enter the keystrokes to be recorded. You may pause recording at any time to allow
keystrokes to be entered manually when played back by pressing Pause. To
continue recording, press Pause again.
Note: You can cancel the newly recorded keystrokes by pressing the
Quit key. This cancellation does not affect the previously
recorded keystrokes.
