Extend keyboard macros for magic
Provided by Philippe Pouliquen

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use of extended keyboard macros:
To distinguish between normal key macros and extended keyboard macros,
the extended keyboard macros key names all start with 'XK_'. For instance,
the 'i' key has:
macro i "select cell"
macro XK_i "select cell"
Although these two macros are the same, the extended keyboard macros
are only available when the mouse cursor is in the drawing window, and
X11 graphics is being used. If the mouse cursor is in the terminal window,
or if magic is started with "-d NULL" then only the normal macros are
available. Note that with the "-d NULL" option, magic will warn about
'Unrecognized macro name XK_xxx' on startup.
For the uppercase version of the 'i' key, which you get when the 'shift'
key and the 'i' key are depressed simultaneously, you would use:
macro I "select more cell"
macro Shift_XK_i "select more cell"
Note that for some keys, such as the numbers, the shifted version is a
symbol rather than a number. So the the number '3' and american keyboards,
you would see:
macro 3 "see allSame"
macro XK_3 "see allSame"
macro # "see no allSame"
macro XK_3 "see no allSame"
Finally, extended macros allow you to use any keyboard key as a distinct
macro, along with its 'Meta', 'Control', 'Capslock', and 'Shift' variants.
For instance, the up-arrow key is heavily loaded:
macro XK_Up "scroll u .1"
macro Shift_XK_Up "scroll u 1"
macro Control_XK_Up "box +u 1"
macro Control_Shift_XK_Up "box -d 1"
There is one exception to the usual rule, involving the keypad. Keypads
are usually set up such that Shift + a keypad number produces the ASCII
number. To make it possible to distinguish between the number key and
the keypad equivalent, magic parses the number key as ASCII and the
keypad key as XK_KP_(number). For example:
"XK_8" and "8" both refer to the "8" key.
"XK_KP_Up" refers to the unshifted keypad "8" key.
"XK_KP_8" refers to the shifted keypad "8" key, or the keypad "8" key
by itself with "Num Lock" ON.
This exception was introduced in revision 42 of magic 7.2; prior revisions
did not distinguish the keypad from the number.
Note that control characters should be specified with the carat ("^")
notation. Embedding actual control characters in the macro definition
is not compatible with the Tcl-interpreter-based version of magic, for
which it is a syntax error. However, the printable carat notation is
not backwardly-compatible to magic 6.X.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The easiest way to add a macro is to type the key combination you want to
use and see what magic reports (if the key combination is not already in
use). For instance, typing 'a' with all the modifiers results in the
message:
Unknown macro or short command: 'Meta_Control_Capslock_Shift_XK_a'
Finally, along with the 'macro' command, there is also an 'imacro'
command. This version is an 'interactive' version of the normal macro.
The assigned string is printed as if you had typed it in, allowing you
to add more to the end of the command. For instance:
imacro l "label "
imacro XK_l "label "
Now typing the 'l' key is equivalent to typing ":label ". Another example
is the '!' to enter shell commands:
imacro ! "shell "
imacor XK_Shift_1 "shell "
Now typing "!ls" followed by the return key is equivalent to typing
":shell ls" to get a directory listing.
