Control Keymaps

Control keymaps (ckeymap) handles the remapping of keys in an analoguous manner to the normal keymap (keymap). The control keymap also allows the user to map both *upper* and *lower* case letters keys when pressed with the control key. This means that ^u and ^U are *different* keys when it come to mapping them.

Any combination of normal keys and control keys can be mapped to one another. In other words, you can map from control key to control key, control key to normal key, normal key to normal key, and normal key to control key.

New format for ckeymap is:
c = any printable ascii character.
^ = introduce control mapping (the key '^' not control + key.)

Each entry is a pair, like:

cc              # regular format
c^c             # regular->control
^cc             # control->regular
^c^c            # control->control

Example ckeymap:
^a%r^b^m^ca%d5 tfDFf^^E
Special case:
The '^' must be mapped with a double ^ ("^^") in either the bound or binding key position.

Notes:
If you experience difficulties (you shouldn't) you might wish to use a normal keymap and a new ckeymap in combination. Both are read in, the keymap first then the ckeymap. This means that if a key which is defined in both the keymap and ckeymap, the ckeymap's definition will be the one used.

Analogously, control keys may be used for buttonmap, singleMacro and all macro and RCD definitions.

The default values are listed in the scroll window in the middle of the tab.
