ADVANCED SKYLITE CHAPTER 4
• A hotspot reference - this describes how you can customize the way a PC searches
for hotspots.
Hotspot Overview Table
This table lists the functions that can be configured by editing the ha7ehot.ini file.
Name Definition Command
Cursor control Cursor control allows the user to position the
cursor on the screen using the mouse. This only
works with host applications that recognize
cursor key sequences such as full screen editors.
CURSORPOS
Hot function keys
Hot alias user
words
Hotwords
You can use hot function keys with host
applications that recognize the appropriate
function key sequence. For example, in the
System Administration Shell on UNIX, pressing
the F1 function key on your keyboard brings up
Help. In other systems, function key names (such
as F1) may be displayed on the screen. In these
circumstances, you can point and click the
function name with your mouse to activate that
function. Disabled by default.
This allows you to define an alternative sequence
for a word on the screen. For example, a user can
set up an alternative sequence for the word EXIT
such as Esc so clicking on the word EXIT will
have the same effect as pressing the Esc key. This
is done by editing the ha7ehot.ini file supplied
with SkyLite. Enabled by default.
You can click on any alphanumeric sequence
displayed on the screen. This sequence will then
be sent to the host. For example, if you are using
a full screen text editor and you want to search
for a word, you can bring up a search prompt
and click on a word displayed on the screen. This
will start a search for that word. Enabled by
default.
ALIAS_FNKEY
ALIAS_USERWORDS
HOTWORD
Note: The standard DEC function keys have been preprogrammed as aliases:
PF1-PF4, F6-F20, HELP, DO, and ENTER.
Editing the ha7ehot.ini File
To edit the ha7ehot.ini file:
You need to edit the part of the ha7ehot.ini file that defines which mouse key will
perform the action, for example:
right_click = HOTWORD
post_right_click =
The right mouse button is set so that when a hotword on the screen is clicked, it will be
sent to the host.
You can set a right mouse button to send a combination of hotspots, for example:
ALIAS_USERWORDS + ALIAS_FNKEY + CURSORPOS
HOTWORD and CURSORPOS are mutually exclusive; you can have one or the other
but not both.
The order in which SkyLite searches for the sequences is as follows:
ALIAS_USERWORDS, FNKEY, HOTWORD or CURSORPOS
