Re: xy windows [again]

["..." yesss@xxxxxxxx]

≪ The main reason for my setup using the cursor pad numbers
1-9, 3X3 arrangement is to establish a visual means of
identifying and locating each window. Folks, even some
really bright ones, often find the visual construct helpful.
The Number Pad setup lets them get the idea and use it
easier. Is there a similar mnemonic for the key arrangement
you told me about? ≫

Hi, Tom. I was so preoccupied with resolving the gap between
the windows-navigation xyW3 xpl I wanted to post and knowing
that you use xyW4 I think I failed to explain very clearly
what such a pgm does: When you strike the key the pgm is
assigned to, it asks for the number of the target window. Tap
a digit 1-9 and it puts you in that window. That's it (duh).

You'd assign such a pgm to a key position associated with
windows in your custom.kbd. Since yours has windows functions
at F11 and F12 you might logically put it in a shift or
supershift position on one of those keys. The relationship
between the key and the window is abstract but specific.
I'm sure you had good reasons, but it's not clear to me
why you've put some functions on Fkeys and not in supershift
positions on mnemonic alphanumeric keys--especially save as
F8, not the ubiquitous, easily-keyed Ctrl S. If you assigned
windows management options to Ctrl W you could put a pgm that
goes to a window by number on F11 next to your toggle-last-
two-windows F12 key. But xyWrite--bless its heart--lets us
all apply our own logic to key assignments and I don't expect
what makes sense to me to strike you the same way.

Shorn of the code intended to maintain the at-launch xyW3
CMline string, the code for a func #[n] command (activates
the designated window) pgm is a no-brainer. Set up a 0-9
array:
	{sv14,0123456789}
Prompt for and collect single-char input:
	{PR window #?}{sx12,{rc}}
If the input char is a digit 1-9, execute func #[rc'd digit]
command:
	{if{is12}e{is14}>0}BC func #{pv12} XC {ei}GT {ex}
Otherwise the pgm does nothing.

Then again, you may not have other tasks clamoring for your
shift numeric keypad. ... Ciao. 	--a
