Re: [jed-users] Making keymap changes in Jed?

[Hippo Man <hippo@xxxxxxxx>]

Thank you, but I already have read that documentation.

In it, it shows how to map one key to another key sequence
via this sort of thing:  map_input(28, 19).

It also describes how keyboard macros can be used to map
a keystroke to one or more characters to be inserted.

However, I found nothing within that documentation which
describes how to map a keystroke to a full-fledged
function call. I would need this capability to create
the kinds of somewhat complex keymapping that I described
in my original message here.

Given that you recommended that I read this document,
I'm guessing that you actually know that the answer to
my question about this topic is indeed contained within
It. So, could you point me to the section of the document
in which the answer to my question is explained?

I have gone through this document twice before posting
my question here, and I now have once again gone through
the document a third time.

But again, please forgive me if after all of that I still
I somehow overlooked this answer.

Thank you in advance.
