Keys that type

You can make a key on the command line type something else. Many scouts put the evaluation symbols under their fingers this way: ] types #, [ types +, so a perfect pass is 7] instead of reaching for Shift+3.

Remap a key

1. Open Menu → Settings and scroll to Keys that type.
2. Click Add a key. The new row says "Press a key… (Esc cancels)".
3. Press the key you want to remap, for example ].
4. In Types, enter what it should type, for example #. It can be up to 20 characters.
5. Click Save settings at the bottom of the page.

To remap another key, click Add a key again. Remove takes a row away. Until you add one, the table says "No keys remapped."

How remapped keys behave

• They only type on the command line. Everywhere else the key does what it always does.
• The text goes in where the cursor is, and replaces any selected text.
• They belong to this computer, like the action keys.

A key can be remapped or an action's key, not both. The table marks a clash with "Set twice." or "Also an action's key.", and Save settings refuses with "] is set more than once." Every row needs both a key and its text: "Each remapped key needs a key and the text it types."

Example: evaluations on the bracket keys

Key	Types
]	#
[	+

With these, you type a7] for a7# and 9[ for 9+.
