Hot-Key String Syntax
Hot-key definitions are composed of one or more keystrokes. The first
character of a hot-key string may not be alphanumeric.
For a hot-key definition which consists of more than one keystroke,
the first keystroke will usually be a control character, a function
key, or some other infrequently used key on your keyboard.
The syntax for specifying a control character is to enclose the control
character name in angle brackets. For instance, "<ESC>" is used for an
escape character, and "<CTRL-D>" is used for a Control-D character.
For a full list of available character names, see the PEEK Hot-Keys
Subtopic: Character-Codes.
Hot-key strings may be up to 16 characters long.
Note: "<ESC>" would be counted as one character, whereas, "<F6>" is
counted as 5 characters since it actually generates the string
"<ESC>{17".
All hot-key strings should be surrounded by double quotes. If you wish
to put a double quote into a string, you must enter two double quotes
within the enclosing double quotes. E.g. /END_WATCH="<CTRL-A>"""
The above means that watching will be terminated when the user types a
Control A followed by a double quote character.
Hot-key strings which include alphabetic characters are handled in such
a way that the case of the alphabetic character is ignored. For example,
the recognition string "<ESC>A" will also be recognized as "<ESC>a".
To make hot-key definitions case-sensitive, precede the character with
a backwards slash. For example, "<ESC>\a" will be recognized ONLY when
an escape is followed by a lowercase letter A.
In order to place a backslash ("\" or a less-than symbol ("<") into a
string, enter two of them in a row. E.g. END_WATCH="<CTRL-P>\\".
