Activating Cursor Positioning
To activate cursor positioning:
Edit the ha7ehot.ini file so that the right mouse button is set to CURSORPOS, for
example:
right_click = CURSORPOS
This defines the right mouse button as the button that will position the cursor when
clicked.
Activating Hotwords
To activate hotwords:
Edit the ha7ehot.ini file so that the right mouse button is set to HOTWORD, for
example:
right_click = HOTWORD
Activating and Defining Alias User Hotwords
A hotword is defined in the host application. If you want to define hotwords in the
ha7ehot.ini file, you define ALIAS_USERWORDS in the [alias] section of the .ini file. So
for example, you could define the word BREAK to send the sequence ^C to the host.
1. Insert the following text:
BREAK = ^C
in the ha7ehot.ini file in the [alias] section.
2. Edit the ha7ehot.ini file so that it says:
right_click = ALIAS_USERWORDS
Activating Function Keys
For hot function keys to work, the application screen must display function keys. The
range is F1 through F24. If ALIAS_FNKEY is activated, when a user clicks on a function
key on the screen, the character string that represents that function key will be sent to the
host. If the host recognizes the character string, it will perform the function.
Defining Whitespace
You can define whitespace so that characters other than just space can separate words.
This is defined using the whitespace command, for example:
whitespace = []
So the following line:
| F1 HELP [EXIT] |
would contain three hotspots: F1, HELP and EXIT.
Defining Eatchars
The eatchars command defines characters that will be removed from hotwords. For
example, if you clicked on the text string “help-screen” and you had defined the character
‘-‘ as an eatchar, the string “helpscreen” would be sent to the host.
A NONE Sequence
A NONE sequence means that no command will be performed unless a post-click
sequence has been defined. A post-click sequence is a sequence that is sent to the host if
none of the commands can be achieved.
