Defining a Hotspot
At the top of the Hotspots Settings dialog is an editable text box containing the hotspot details. The
details are divided into two sections, the [Separators] and the [Definitions,emulation], where
emulation is the current selected emulation mode.
The Separators section specifies the displayed characters which delimit a hotspot definition.
NOTE: Delimiter characters include SPACE and NULL as well as the characters shown.
The start and end delimiter characters do not have to be the same character. Delimiters are necessary
to prevent hotspots from occurring within words that happen to contain the same sequence of
characters. For example, if you have a hotspot defined for the keyword end, the separators would
prevent a hotspot from appearing in the word append.
The Definitions section lists the hotspot definitions. Each hotspot definition appears one per line in the
form Keyword=Action, where Keyword is the display text that will form the hotspot, and Action is the
function that will be performed when the hotspot is clicked with the mouse button or key + mouse button
combination defined as Action Hotspot. The action for the hotspot definition can contain a single key
function (virtual key name). Please refer to
Virtual Key Names on page 281 for a list of valid keys for
the selected emulation mode.
Saving the Hotspots
Hotspot definitions are saved with your sessions by selecting Save Session or Save Session As
from the File menu. The hotspot definitions are stored in the session file along with other session
details.
