User manual

It is probably unrealistic to contemplate making compatible additions to the existing default

keystrokes.key file to cover all the new functions. Keyboard namespace, which is to say the

possible combinations of key names and the various mode keys (CTL, SHF and ALT), is limited

and the default key file already uses a good deal of the namespace.

Tactically it is probably a better approach to make a new file. This new file can leave out all the

legacy “toggle” and “increment/decrement” functions as well as many of the key entries that are

less useful (such as some of the more esoteric view commands) in order to make space for the

discrete switch and knob positioning commands.

The plan is to produce such a file to make available with a future release of the BMS executable

but this work is not yet complete and tested.

Keystroke Callbacks

There appears to be no other definitive source of keystroke callback routine names that can be

used in the construction of a key mapping file. The complete list is presented here. The table

therefore includes all the key callbacks that were present in the Falcon4 SP3 executable as a

baseline. Keystroke callbacks added subsequently in the BMS executable are listed with bold

text for the callback name.
