▼ To Change a General Motif Keyboard Translation
● Change its entry in the *defaultVirtualBindings resource.
For example, if your keyboard doesn’t have an F10 key, you could edit the
osfMenuBar line and substitute another function key.
Note these points in changing this resource:
■
All entries in the resource must be included in your resource database if you want
to change any of them; otherwise the omitted entries are undefined.
■
The entries in this resource apply to all Motif-based applications. If you want
your changes to apply only to the Prism environment, change the first line of the
resource to Prism*defaultVirtualBindings.
