[Oberon] Oberon keyboard tweaks

[joerg.straube at iaeth.ch]

I saw you modified my TextFrames.Write.

The underlying logic of my code is that Input.Read returns four special Oberon keys called “left”, “right”, “up”, “down” whatever their HW scancodes are.
If you want Ctrl-B, Ctrl-F, Ctrl-P and Ctrl-N to behave like those 4 cursor keys, try mapping their scancodes to the 4 keys and leave TextFrame.Write untouched.
However, it might be you want Ctrl-B, Ctrl-F… to behave differently in Frames that are not TextFrames.

Thank you Hans Klaver for your Tutorial.
I plan to use it as a training tool for my students when learning to work through Project Oberon, and the initial lack of cursor keys and fixed upper case are great starting points to use as a guide to the inner workings.

Best regards,
Prof. Pablo Cayuela

Hi all,

Have you ever felt the desire to use the arrow keys while editing text or playing ObTris (Oberon Tetris) in Project Oberon 2013? Or wondered how to make changes to the keyboard code translation table in Input.Mod?

I did, and I noticed that making such changes is not entirely trivial. So after fiddling with this for some time and succeeding to make most of the tweaks that I needed I wrote a small Tutorial on this.

You can find it here: https://github.com/hansklav/Oberon-keyboard-tweaks

Hoping it will useful to others,

With regards,

Hans Klaver
