toggle_alt_key

toggle_alt_key

Description

Simulates pressing and releasing the ALT key. Each time this command is invoked, the state of the ALT key is toggled between the up and down position. Use this command if your system setup does not recognize the ALT key+mouse combination used for dynamic panning (as with applications using VNC). For ease of use, assign a bindkey to the command and toggle the ALT key state by pressing the bindkey when the workspace is active.

Arguments

None

Examples

The following example assigns the T key to the toggle_alt_key command using the define_key_binding command.

You can also assign the bindkey in the bindkey file that is read on system startup.
