NAME

       kybd - predefined keyboard equivalents

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Unidraw/kybd.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The  hybd  header  file provides external declarations for predefined keyboard equivalents corresponding to the predefined components, com-
       mands, and tools in the Unidraw library.  These declarations take the form

       #extern const char* KLBL_name, *CODE_name

       where KLBL denotes the printable representation of the keyboard equivalent, and CODE denotes the  code  against	which  the  key  event	is
       matched to find the corresponding control.

NAME

       KeyMap - activates controls given their keyboard equivalents

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Unidraw/keymap.h>

DESCRIPTION

       KeyMap  supports  keyboard  equivalents, which allow the user of a Unidraw application to execute menu commands or select from a palette of
       controls by typing rather than pointing and clicking with the mouse. The KeyMap can activate a control given its key code as defined by its
       ControlInfo object.  Only those controls registered with the KeyMap can be activated through the KeyMap.  By default, the Editor base class
       handles key events by having its KeyMap execute the key code.

PUBLIC OPERATIONS

       KeyMap()
	      Construct a new keymap, initially with no registrants.

       void Register(UControl*)
       void Register(KeyMap*)
       void Unregister(UControl*)
       void Unregister(KeyMap*)
	      Register and unregister a control or another KeyMap.  Registering a KeyMap is equivalent to registering all its registered  controls
	      individually.

       void Execute(const char* keyCode)
	      Execute  the given key code by activating the corresponding control.  Each UControl contains a ControlInfo object that specifies its
	      key code; thus the mapping between key codes and controls is defined by the ControlInfo objects collectively.  Key codes among  reg-
	      istered controls should be unique.
