Next Previous Contents 4. Now you've tried this editor you should agree it is easy to use. However it can be configured to correspond better to what you expect. All this configuration stuff can be made with variables placed in profile files or directly modified from the internal commands window. A key mapping is nothing more than a variable which name is the key name and a value which is the function, macro or text assigned to this variable.
Profile files are text files which contains variables names and values.
You can type comments too because each line which doesn't begin with a variable name is considered to be a comment. It doesn't contain the default values for the normal keys because everyone knows that a 'A' will produce a 'A' , however normal keys are redefinable too. Each color value is made of a foreground color, a background color and up to two screen attributes. The syntax for the color variables is slightly different than the syntax for other variables because of the four components of a color. The default value is black on cyan without any special attribute.
