4.56 Keys file

[Richard Torrens (lists)]

I have been using 4.56.p3 (25-Jan-2017). Just channged to the release 4.56.

On running the new version I get an error "Bad parameter Shift F1"

This is triggered by my Key file in Choices.PipeDream. The first two lines
are:
\Cdk|i 96 |i "+\Cen|m" |m Define key
\Cdf|i "Shift F1" |i "\bm|m" |m Move block

So what has happened in the \Cdf command?

A result of one step too far towards Style Guide compliance I am afraid!
PipeDream uses the same lists for displaying elements in its user
interface (here, the Define key dialogue box) and for the corresponding
elements in files. Guess what, Style Guide suggests that there should be
a hyphen between Shift (and/or Ctrl) and F1 which I dutifully followed.
Naturally I had no shifted function keys in my own Key file... I will
have to revert this to remove the hyphen from those UI strings. Look out
for 4.56.01

Yes - works fine.

The Style thingy is only a guide - not a set of laws! PipeDream ante-dates
the guide by several years!

Is there anywhere a list of changes you have nade?
