Define the NetBeans
logical, NETBEANS$KEYBOARD_TYPE_DEC
to have a value of 1 prior
to starting NetBeans.
| For example: $ DEFINE NETBEANS$KEYBOARD_TYPE_DEC 1 |
The only setup step required for DEC keyboard users is to define a NetBeans logical. If you are a PC keyboard user, your setup is complete unless you want to specify EDT keybindings for your PC navigation keys.
Define the NetBeans logical for DEC keyboards
Specify the behavior of PC navigation keys
To complete your EDT Editor Keybindings Module setup, your Java environment must recognize unique DEC keys (such as PF1,PF2,MINUS,COMMA, and so on). Do the following:
For example:
$ DEFINE NETBEANS$KEYBOARD_TYPE_DEC 1
This will cause the NetBeans launcher to specify the appropriate Java logical (JAVA$KEYBOARD_TYPE_DEC) and NetBeans option when starting up NetBeans.
Once the module is loaded with the logical defined, NetBeans running on OpenVMS will recognize the EDT Editor keybindings.
Caution Do not use a DEC keyboard without this logical. Conversely, do not use a PC keyboard with this logical. Both cases will result in undefined behavior.
By default, the EDT Editor Keybindings Module disables the standard PC navigation keypad functions (INSERT,HOME,PAGE UP, and so on) and replaces them with EDT functions. If you prefer to use these keys according to their PC keyboard labels, do the following:
Running NetBeans on Other Platforms
netbeans.edtkeypad.navigatePCkeys
For example:
$ @RUNIDEOPENVMS "" "-Dnetbeans.edtkeypad.navigatePCkeys=true"
Note EDT Keybindings are disabled on Windows unless you are using Java SDK 1.4.0 or later.
By default, the EDT Editor Keybindings Module disables the EDT navigation keypad functions (FIND,SELECT,PASTE, and so on) and retains the meaning of the keys according to their PC keyboard labels. If you prefer to use these keys according to their EDT functions, do the following:
netbeans.edtkeypad.navigatePCkeys
For example:
C:\netbeans\bin\runide.exe -J-Dnetbeans.edtkeypad.navigatePCkeys=false
