Help! Need keyboard advice...

[Gary]

Perhaps someone has already dealt with a similar issue and can make a
suggestion. When at an INPUT@ or INPUTFIELD@ statement, I want the
END key to break, save the existing changes (ala KEYEXIT rather than
KEYTRAP) and exit with a status code that I can read. Does anyone
have an idea about how I can do this? I've tried several methods, but
have yet to find one that works.

Thanks,

After much experimentation, I have solved the problem.

Thanks anyway,

What did you do in the end, can I ask?

Tom,
In the code where I want this to happen, I remapped the 'End' key
to 'User0' thus:

CURR.END.KEY=TERMINFO("kend")
VOID BINDKEY(CURR.END.KEY,USER0)

where USER0 is defined to be 218

So now it is not used by INPUTFIELD@ or INPUT@ for editing and
returns 218 as a keycode. Then, when INPUTFIELD@ exits, I test for
keycode 218 (USER0) to see if my user pressed 'End'. You can restore
the 'End' key when you are done if you want to avoid breaking other
code.
