30 I. OVERVIEW:
31
32 This version of the EDT emulation package for GNU Emacs is a substantially
33 enhanced version of the original. A large part of the original can still be
34 found here, of course, but much of it has been modified and quite a bit is
35 new. Many of the ideas found here are borrowed from others. In particular,
36 some of the code found here was drawn from an earlier re-write of the EDT
37 package done at DSC in 1989 by Matthew Frohman.
38
39 Send bug fixes, suggestions for enhancements, and corrections to this
40 documentation to Kevin Gallagher (kevingal@onramp.net).
41
42 The EDT emulation consists of the following files:
43
44 edt-user.doc - User instructions (which you are reading now)
45 edt.el - EDT Emulation Functions and Default Configuration
46 edt-lk201.el - Support for DEC LK-201 Keyboards
47 edt-vt100.el - Support for DEC VT-100 (and above) terminals
48 edt-mapper.el - Support for Keyboards used under X Windows
49 edt-pc.el - Support for the PC AT Keyboard under MS-DOS
50
51 Several goals were kept in mind when making this version:
52
53 1. Emulate EDT Keypad Mode commands closely so that current
54 EDT users will find that it easy and comfortable to use
55 GNU Emacs with a small learning curve;
56
57 2. Make it easy for a user to customize EDT emulation key
58 bindings without knowing much about Emacs Lisp;
59
60 3. Make it easy to switch between the original EDT default bindings
61 and the user's customized bindings, without having to exit Emacs.
62
63 4. Provide support for some TPU/EVE functions not supported in
64 EDT.
65
66 5. Provide an easy way to restore ALL original Emacs key bindings,
67 just as they existed before the EDT emulation was first invoked.
68
69 6. Support GNU Emacs 19. (Support for GNU Emacs 18 has been dropped.
70 Also, although there is some code designed to support Xemacs 19
71 (formerly Lucid Emacs), this is not fully implemented at this
72 time.
73
74 7. When running under X, support highlighting of marked text.
75
76 8. Handle terminal configuration under X interactively when the
77 emulation is invoked for the first time.
78
79 9. Support a PC AT keyboard under MS-DOS.
80 \f
81 II. TERMINALS/KEYBOARDS SUPPORTED:
82
83 Keyboards used under X Windows are supported via the edt-mapper function. The
84 first time you invoke the emulation under X, the edt-mapper function is run
85 automatically and the user is prompted to identify which keys the emulation is
86 to use for the standard keypad and function keys EDT expects (e.g., PF1, PF2,
87 etc.). This configuration is saved to disk read each time the emulation is
88 invoked.
89
90 In character oriented connections not running a window manager, the following
91 terminals/keyboards are supported. (1) DEC VT-100 series and higher. This
92 includes well behaved VT clones and emulators. If you are using a VT series
93 terminal, be sure that the term environment variable is set properly before
94 invoking emacs. (2) PC AT keyboard under MS-DOS.
95
96 Be sure to read the SPECIAL NOTES FOR SOME PLATFORMS sections to see if those
97 notes apply to you.
98
99 \f
100 III. STARTING THE EDT EMULATION:
101
102 Start up GNU Emacs and enter "M-x edt-emulation-on" to begin the emulation.
103 After initialization is complete, the following message will appear below the
104 status line informing you that the emulation has been enabled:
105
106 Default EDT keymap active
107
108 You can have the EDT Emulation start up automatically, each time you initiate
109 a GNU Emacs session, by adding the following line to your .emacs file:
110
111 (setq term-setup-hook 'edt-emulation-on)
112
113 A reference sheet is included (later on) listing the default EDT Emulation key
114 bindings. This sheet is also accessible on line from within Emacs by pressing
115 PF2, GOLD H, or HELP (when in the EDT Default Mode).
116
117 It is easy to customize key bindings in the EDT Emulation. (See CUSTOMIZING
118 section, below.) Customizations are placed in a file called edt-user.el. (A
119 sample edt-user.el file can be found in the CUSTOMIZING section.) If
120 edt-user.el is found in your GNU Emacs load path during EDT Emulation
121 initialization, then the following message will appear below the status line
122 indicating that the emulation has been enabled, enhanced by your own
123 customizations:
124
125 User EDT custom keymap active
126
127 Once enabled, it is easy to switch back and forth between your customized EDT
128 Emulation key bindings and the default EDT Emulation key bindings. It is also
129 easy to turn off the emulation. Doing so completely restores the original key
130 bindings in effect just prior to invoking the emulation.
131
132 Where EDT key bindings and GNU Emacs key bindings conflict, the default GNU
133 Emacs key bindings are retained by the EDT emulation by default. If you are a
134 diehard EDT user you may not like this. The CUSTOMIZING section explains how
135 to change this default.
136
137 \f
138 IV. SPECIAL NOTES FOR SOME PLATFORMS:
139
140 Sun Workstations running X:
141
142 Some earlier Sun keyboards do not have arrow keys separate from the
143 keypad keys. It is difficult to emulate the full EDT keypad and still
144 retain use of the arrow keys on such keyboards.
145
146 The Sun Type 5 keyboard, however, does have separate arrow keys. This
147 makes it a candidate for setting up a reasonable EDT keypad emulation.
148 Unfortunately, Sun's default X keynames for the keypad keys don't permit
149 GNU Emacs to interpret the keypad 2, 4, 6, and 8 keys as something other
150 than arrow keys, nor use all the top row of keys for PF1 thru PF4 keys.
151 Here's the contents of an .xmodmaprc file which corrects this problem for
152 Sun Type 5 keyboards:
153
154 ! File: .xmodmaprc
155 !
156 ! Set up Sun Type 5 keypad for use with the GNU Emacs EDT Emulation
157 !
158 keycode 53 = KP_Divide
159 keycode 54 = KP_Multiply
160 keycode 57 = KP_Decimal
161 keycode 75 = KP_7
162 keycode 76 = KP_8
163 keycode 77 = KP_9
164 keycode 78 = KP_Subtract
165 keycode 97 = KP_Enter
166 keycode 98 = KP_4
167 keycode 99 = KP_5
168 keycode 100 = KP_6
169 keycode 101 = KP_0
170 keycode 105 = F24
171 keycode 119 = KP_1
172 keycode 120 = KP_2
173 keycode 121 = KP_3
174 keycode 132 = KP_Add
175
176 Feed .xmodmaprc to the xmodmap command and all the Sun Type 5 keypad keys
177 will now be configurable for the emulation of an LK-201 keypad (less the
178 comma key). The line
179
180 keycode 105 = F24
181
182 modifies the NumLock key to be the F24 key which can then be configured
183 to behave as the PF1 (Gold) key. In doing so, you will no longer
184 have a NumLock key. If you are using other software under X
185 which requires a NumLock key, then examine your keyboard and look
186 for one you don't use and redefine it to be the NumLock key.
187 Basically, you need to clear the NumLock key from being assigned
188 as a modifier, assign it to the key of your choice, and then add
189 it back as a modifier. (See the "General Notes on Using NumLock
190 for the PF1 Key on a Unix System" section below for further help
191 on how to do this.)
192
193 PC users running MS-DOS:
194
195 By default, F1 is configured to emulate the PF1 (GOLD) key. But NumLock
196 can be used instead if you load a freeware TSR distributed with
197 MS-Kermit, call gold.com. It is distributed in a file called gold22.zip
198 and comes with the source code as well as a loadable binary image.
199 (See edt-pc.el for more information.)
200
201 PC users running GNU/Linux:
202
203 The default X server configuration of three keys PC AT keyboard keys
204 needs to be modified to permit the PC keyboard to emulate an LK-201
205 keyboard properly. Here's the contents of an .xmodmaprc file which makes
206 these changes for your:
207
208 ! File: .xmodmaprc
209 !
210 ! Set up PC keypad under GNU/Linux for the GNU Emacs EDT Emulation
211 !
212 clear mod2
213 keycode 77 = F12
214 keycode 96 = Num_Lock Pointer_EnableKeys
215 add mod2 = Num_Lock
216
217 Feed the file to the xmodmap command and the PC NumLock keypad
218 key will now be configurable for the emulation of the PF1 key.
219 The PC keypad can now emulate an LK-201 keypad (less the comma
220 key), the standard keyboard supplied with DEC terminals VT-200 and above.
221 This .xmodmaprc file switches the role of the F12 and NumLock
222 keys. It has been tested on RedHat GNU/Linux 5.2. Other
223 versions of GNU/Linux may require different keycodes. (See the
224 "General Notes on Using NumLock for the PF1 Key on a Unix System"
225 section below for further help on how to do this.)
226
227 NOTE: It is necessary to have NumLock ON for the PC keypad to emulate the
228 LK-201 keypad properly.
229 \f
230 General Notes on Using NumLock for the PF1 Key on a Unix System:
231
232 Making the physical NumLock key available for use in the EDT
233 Emulation requires some modification to the default X Window
234 settings. Since the keycode assignments vary from system to
235 system, some investigation is needed to see how to do this on
236 a particular system.
237
238 The following commands should be run and the output examined.
239 On RedHat GNU/Linux 5.2 on a PC, we get the following output when
240 running xmodmap.
241
242 "xmodmap -pm" yields:
243
244 xmodmap: up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
245
246 shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
247 lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
248 control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d)
249 mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_R (0x71)
250 mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
251 mod3
252 mod4
253 mod5 Scroll_Lock (0x4e)
254
255
256 Note that Num_Lock is assigned to the modifier mod2. This is
257 what hides Num_Lock from being seen by Emacs.
258
259 Now, "xmodmap -pke" yields:
260
261 .
262 .
263 .
264 keycode 77 = Num_Lock Pointer_EnableKeys
265 .
266 .
267 .
268 keycode 96 = F12
269 .
270 .
271 .
272
273 So, in RedHat GNU/Linux 5.2 on a PC, Num_Lock generates keycode
274 77. The following steps are taken:
275
276 1. clear the assignment of Num_Lock to mod2;
277 2. swap the keycodes assigned to F12 and Num_Lock;
278 3. assign Num_Lock back to mod2.
279
280 The .xmodmaprc file looks like this:
281
282 ! File: .xmodmaprc
283 !
284 ! Set up PC keypad under GNU/Linux for the GNU Emacs EDT Emulation
285 !
286 clear mod2
287 keycode 77 = F12
288 keycode 96 = Num_Lock Pointer_EnableKeys
289 add mod2 = Num_Lock
290
291 So, after executing "xmodmap .xmodmaprc", a press of the physical
292 F12 key looks like a Num_Lock keypress to X. Also, a press of the
293 physical NumLock key looks like a press of the F12 key to X.
294
295 Now, edt-mapper.el will see "f12" when the physical NumLock key
296 is pressed, allowing the NumLock key to be used as the EDT PF1
297 (Gold) key.
298 \f
299 V. HOW DOES THIS EDT EMULATION DIFFER FROM REAL EDT?:
300
301 In general, you will find that this emulation of EDT replicates most, but not
302 all, of EDT's most used Keypad Mode editing functions and behavior. It is not
303 perfect, but most EDT users who have tried the emulation agree that it is
304 quite good enough to make it easy for die-hard EDT users to move over to using
305 GNU Emacs.
306
307 Here's a list of the most important differences between EDT and this GNU Emacs
308 EDT Emulation. The list is short but you must be aware of these differences
309 if you are to use the EDT Emulation effectively.
310
311 1. Entering repeat counts works a little differently than in EDT.
312
313 EDT allows users to enter a repeat count before entering a command that
314 accepts repeat counts. For example, when in EDT, pressing these three
315 keys in sequence, GOLD 5 KP1, will move the cursor in the current
316 direction 5 words.
317
318 Emacs provides two ways to enter repeat counts, though neither involves
319 using the GOLD key. In Emacs, repeat counts can be entered by using the
320 ESC key. For example, pressing these keys in sequence, ESC 1 0 KP1, will
321 move the cursor in the current direction 10 words.
322
323 Emacs provides another command called universal-argument that can do the
324 same thing, plus a few other things. Normally, Emacs has this bound to
325 C-u.
326
327 2. The EDT SUBS command, bound to GOLD ENTER, is NOT supported. The built-in
328 Emacs query-replace command has been bound to GOLD ENTER, instead. It is
329 much more convenient to use than SUBS.
330
331 3. EDT's line mode commands and nokeypad mode commands are NOT supported
332 (with one important exception; see item 8 in the Highlights section
333 below). Although, at first, this may seem like a big omission, the set of
334 built-in Emacs commands provides a much richer set of capabilities which
335 more than make up for this omission.
336
337 To enter Emacs commands not bound to keys, you can press GOLD KP7 or the
338 DO key. Emacs will display its own command prompt called Meta-x (M-x).
339 You can also invoke this prompt the normal Emacs way by entering ESC x.
340
341 4. Selected text is highlighted ONLY when running under X Windows. Gnu Emacs
342 19 does not support highlighting of text on VT series terminals, at this
343 time.
344
345 5. Just like TPU/EVE, The ENTER key is NOT used to terminate input when the
346 editor prompts you for input. The RETURN key is used, instead. (KP4 and
347 KP5 do terminate input for the FIND command, just like in EDT, however.)
348
349
350 \f
351
352 VI. SOME HIGHLIGHTS IN THIS EDT EMULATION, AND SOME COMPARISONS TO THE
353 ORIGINAL GNU EMACS EDT EMULATION:
354
355 1. The EDT define key command is supported (edt-define-key) and is bound to
356 C-k in the default EDT mode when EDT control sequence bindings are enabled
357 or one of the sample edt-user.el customization files is used. The TPU/EVE
358 learn command is supported but not bound to a key in the default EDT mode
359 but is bound in the sample edt-user.el files.
360
361 Unlike the TPU/EVE learn command, which uses one key to begin the learn
362 sequence, C-l, and another command to remember the sequence, C-r, this
363 version of the learn command (edt-learn) serves as a toggle to both begin
364 and to remember the learn sequence.
365
366 Many users who change the meaning of a key with the define key and the
367 learn commands, would like to be able to restore the original key binding
368 without having to quit and restart emacs. So a restore key command is
369 provided to do just that. When invoked, it prompts you to press the key
370 to which you wish the last replaced key definition restored. It is bound
371 to GOLD C-k in the default EDT mode when EDT control sequence bindings are
372 enabled or one of the sample edt-user.el customization files is used.
373
374 2. Direction support is fully supported. It is no longer accomplished by
375 re-defining keys each time the direction is changed. Thus, commands
376 sensitive to the current direction setting may be bound easily to any key.
377
378 3. All original emacs bindings are fully restored when EDT emulation is
379 turned off.
380
381 4. User custom EDT bindings are kept separate from the default EDT bindings.
382 One can toggle back and forth between the custom EDT bindings and default
383 EDT bindings.
384
385 5. The Emacs functions in edt.el attempt to emulate, where practical, the
386 exact behavior of the corresponding EDT keypad mode commands. In a few
387 cases, the emulation is not exact, but we hope you will agree it is close
388 enough. In a very few cases, we chose to use the Emacs way of handling
389 things. As mentioned earlier, we do not emulate the EDT SUBS command.
390 Instead, we chose to use the Emacs query-replace function, which we find
391 to be easier to use.
392
393 6. Emacs uses the regexp assigned to page-delimiter to determine what marks a
394 page break. This is normally "^\f", which causes the edt-page command to
395 ignore form feeds not located at the beginning of a line. To emulate the
396 EDT PAGE command exactly, page-delimiter is set to "\f" when EDT emulation
397 is turned on, and restored to "^\f" when EDT emulation is turned off.
398 But, since some users prefer the Emacs definition of a page break, or may
399 wish to preserve a customized definition of page break, one can override
400 the EDT definition by placing
401
402 (setq edt-keep-current-page-delimiter t)
403
404 in your .emacs file.
405
406 7. The EDT definition of a section of a terminal window is hardwired to be 16
407 lines of its one-and-only 24-line window (the EDT SECT command bound to
408 KP8). That's two-thirds of the window at a time. Since Emacs, like
409 TPU/EVE, can handle multiple windows of sizes of other than 24 lines, the
410 definition of section used here has been modified to two-thirds of the
411 current window. (There is also an edt-scroll-window function which you
412 may prefer over the SECT emulation.)
413
414 8. Cursor movement and deletion involving word entities is identical to EDT.
415 This, above all else, gives the die-hard EDT user a sense of being at
416 home. Also, an emulation of EDT's SET ENTITY WORD command is provided,
417 for those users who like to customize movement by a word at a time to
418 their own liking.
419
420 9. EDT's FIND and FNDNXT are supported.
421
422 10. EDT's APPEND and REPLACE commands are supported.
423
424 11. CHNGCASE is supported. It works on individual characters or selected
425 text, if SELECT is active. In addition, two new commands are provided:
426 edt-lowercase and edt-uppercase. They work on individual WORDS or
427 selected text, if SELECT is active.
428
429 12. Form feed and tab insert commands are supported.
430
431 13. A new command, edt-duplicate-word, is provided. If you experiment with
432 it, you might find it to be surprisingly useful and may wonder how you
433 ever got along without it! It is assigned to C-j in the sample
434 edt-user.el customization files.
435
436 14. TPU/EVE's Rectangular Cut and Paste functions (originally from the EVE-Plus
437 package) are supported. But unlike the TPU/EVE versions, these here
438 support both insert and overwrite modes. The seven rectangular functions
439 are bound to F7, F8, GOLD-F8, F9, GOLD-F9, F10, and GOLD-F10 in the
440 default EDT mode.
441
442 15. The original EDT emulation package set up many default regular and GOLD
443 bindings. We tried to preserve most (but not all!) of these, so users of
444 the original emulation package will feel more at home.
445
446 Nevertheless, there are still many GOLD key sequences which are not bound
447 to any functions. These are prime candidates to use for your own
448 customizations.
449
450 Also, there are several commands in edt.el not bound to any key. So, you
451 will find it worthwhile to look through edt.el for functions you may wish
452 to add to your personal customized bindings.
453
454 16. The VT200/VT300 series terminals steal the function keys F1 to F5 for
455 their own use. These do not generate signals which are sent to the host.
456 So, edt.el does not assign any default bindings to F1 through F5.
457
458 In addition, our VT220 terminals generate an interrupt when the F6 key is
459 pressed (^C or ^Y, can't remember which) and not the character sequence
460 documented in the manual. So, binding emacs commands to F6 will not work
461 if your terminal behaves the same way.
462
463 17. The VT220 terminal has no ESC, BS, nor LF keys, as does a VT100. So the
464 default EDT bindings adopt the standard DEC convention of having the F11,
465 F12, and F13 keys, on a VT200 series (and above) terminal, assigned to the
466 same EDT functions that are bound to ESC, BS, and LF on a VT100 terminal.
467
468 18. Each user, through the use of a private edt-user.el file, can customize,
469 very easily, personal EDT emulation bindings.
470
471 19. The EDT SELECT and RESET functions are supported. However, unlike EDT,
472 pressing RESET to cancel text selection does NOT reset the existing
473 setting of the current direction.
474
475 We also provide a TPU/EVE like version of the single SELECT/RESET
476 function, called edt-toggle-select, which makes the EDT SELECT function
477 into a toggle on/off switch. That is, if selection is ON, pressing SELECT
478 again turns selection off (cancels selection). This function is used in
479 the sample edt-user.el customization files.
480 \f
481
482 VII. CUSTOMIZING:
483
484 Most EDT users, at one time or another, make some custom key bindings, or
485 use someone else's custom key bindings, which they come to depend upon just as
486 if they were built-in bindings. This EDT Emulation for GNU Emacs is designed
487 to make it easy to customize bindings.
488
489 If you wish to customize the EDT Emulation to use some of your own key
490 bindings, you need to make a private version of edt-user.el in your own
491 private lisp directory. There are two sample files edt-user.el1 and
492 edt-user.el2 for you to use as templates and for ideas. Look at
493 edt-user.el1 first. Unless you will be using two or more very different
494 types of terminals on the same system, you need not look at edt-user.el2.
495
496 First, you need to have your own private lisp directory, say ~/lisp, and
497 you should add it to the GNU Emacs load path.
498
499 NOTE: A few sites have different load-path requirements, so the above
500 directions may need some modification if your site has such special
501 needs.
502
503
504 Creating your own edt-user.el file:
505
506 A sample edt-user.el file is attached to the end of this user documentation.
507 You should use it as a guide to learn how you can customize EDT emulation
508 bindings to your own liking. Names used to identify the set of LK-201
509 keypad and function keys are:
510
511 Keypad Keys:
512 PF1 PF2 PF3 PF4
513 KP7 KP8 KP9 KP-

528 Note:
529 Many VT-200 terminals, and above, steal function keys F1 thru
530 F5 for terminal setup control and don't send anything to the
531 host if pressed. So customizing bindings to these keys may
532 not work for you.
533
534 There are three basic functions that do the EDT emulation bindings:
535 edt-bind-standard-key, edt-bind-gold-key, and edt-bind-function-key.
536
537 The first two are for binding functions to keys which are standard across most
538 keyboards. This makes them keyboard independent, making it possible to define
539 these key bindings for all terminals in the file edt.el.
540
541 The first, edt-bind-standard-key, is used typically to bind emacs commands to
542 control keys, although some people use it to bind commands to other keys, as
543 well. (For example, some people use it to bind the VT200 seldom used
544 back-tick key (`) to the function "ESC-prefix" so it will behave like an ESC
545 key.) The second function, edt-bind-gold-key, is used to bind emacs commands
546 to gold key sequences involving alpha-numeric keys, special character keys,
547 and control keys.
548
549 The third function, edt-bind-function-key, is terminal dependent and is
550 defined in a terminal specific file (see edt-vt100.el for example). It is
551 used to bind emacs commands to function keys, to keypad keys, and to gold
552 sequences of those keys.
553
554 WARNING: Each of the three functions, edt-bind-function-key,
555 edt-bind-gold-key, and edt-bind-standard-key, has an optional
556 last argument. The optional argument should NOT be used in
557 edt-user.el! When the optional argument is missing, each
558 function knows to make the key binding part of the user's EDT
559 custom bindings, which is what you want to do in edt-user.el!
560
561 The EDT default bindings are set up in edt.el by calling these
562 same functions with the optional last argument set to "t". So, if
563 you decide to copy such function calls from edt.el to edt-user.el
564 for subsequent modification, BE SURE TO DELETE THE "t" AT THE END
565 OF EACH PARAMETER LIST!
566
567
568 SPECIFYING WORD ENTITIES:
569
570 The variable edt-word-entities is used to emulate EDT's SET ENTITY WORD
571 command. It contains a list of characters to be treated as words in
572 themselves. If the user does not define edt-word-entities in his/her .emacs
573 file, then it is set up with the EDT default containing only TAB.
574
575 The characters are stored in the list by their numerical values, not as
576 strings. Emacs supports several ways to specify the numerical value of a
577 character. One method is to use the question mark: ?A means the numerical
578 value for A, ?/ means the numerical value for /, and so on. Several
579 unprintable characters have special representations:
580
581 ?\b specifies BS, C-h
582 ?\t specifies TAB, C-i
583 ?\n specifies LFD, C-j
584 ?\v specifies VTAB, C-k
585 ?\f specifies FF, C-l
586 ?\r specifies CR, C-m
587 ?\e specifies ESC, C-[
588 ?\\ specifies \
589
590 Here are some examples:
591
592 (setq edt-word-entities '(?\t ?- ?/)) ;; Specifies TAB, - , and /
593 (setq edt-word-entities '(?\t) ;; Specifies TAB, the default
594
595 You can also specify characters by their decimal ascii values:
596
597 (setq edt-word-entities '(9 45 47)) ;; Specifies TAB, - , and /
598
599
600 ENABLING EDT CONTROL KEY SEQUENCE BINDINGS:
601
602 Where EDT key bindings and GNU Emacs key bindings conflict, the default GNU
603 Emacs key bindings are retained by default. Some diehard EDT users may not
604 like this. So, if the variable edt-use-EDT-control-key-bindings is set to
605 true in a user's .emacs file, then the default EDT Emulation mode will enable
606 most of the original EDT control key sequence bindings. If you wish to do
607 this, add the following line to your .emacs file:
608
609 (setq edt-use-EDT-control-key-bindings t)

701 ;;; Commentary:
702
703 ;; This file contains GNU Emacs User Custom EDT bindings and functions. In
704 ;; this example file, there is no special test for the type of terminal being
705 ;; used. The assumption is that all key bindings here apply to all terminals
706 ;; that may be used. (In fact, it was written by an individual who uses only
707 ;; VT series terminals when logging into a VAX.)
708 ;;
709 ;; WARNING: Each of the three functions, edt-bind-function-key,
710 ;; edt-bind-gold-key, and edt-bind-standard-key, has an optional
711 ;; last argument. The optional argument should NOT be used in
712 ;; edt-user.el! When the optional argument is missing, each
713 ;; function knows to make the key binding part of the user's EDT
714 ;; custom bindings, which is what you want to do in edt-user.el!
