New Feature (Overstrike) for TPU

(1 / 1)


Attention TPU users...

You may want to put the following procedure into your TPU init file...
This procedure activates the GOLD O key to toggle on and off the
overwrite mode available in the TPU editor.  This mode is especially
useful when modifying tables which already have some data you want
to re-use, and where all the columns are set up already.  When in this
mode, everything you type is placed directly over what is already there
(as opposed to insert mode, which is the normal state).

	Good Luck,
	   Rusty


!
! Toggle overstrike/insert mode using GOLD O key
!
procedure over_it
	if over_strike = 0
	then
		over_strike := 1;
		set (overstrike, current_buffer); ! setup overwrite mode
	else
		over_strike := 0;
		set (insert, current_buffer); ! setup insert mode
	endif;		

endprocedure

over_strike:= 0;
define_key('over_it', key_name('O',shift_key));     !setup insert (normal) mode
