I've assigned long line word wrap to Ctrl-w by entering
Ctrl-W [MENU]VW
into my vedit.key. Whenever I press it, word wrap gets
toggled properly, but I have to press Escape to close
the menu.

I have tried your definition and it works ok - no need to press ESC.

I also cannot find any problem. Make sure there are no extra spaces on your definition line the vedit.key file. For example "[MENU] VW", "[MENU]V W", or "[MENU]VW " would each cause some type of problem.

In my first message, I didn't mention, that I have this
problem with Vedit for DOS. In an email, Ted Green
told me, to add an [ESCAPE] after the [MENU]VW in my
vedit.key. That does the trick!

There are a few differences between the Windows and DOS versions. In the DOS version, selecting a "Check box" in the menus does not close the menu. I implemented it this way so that you could easily select {FILE, Enable edit restore} and then {FILE, Exit}, or multiple options in {VIEW, Options}.

Consequently, "[MENU]VW[ESCAPE]" will work in the DOS version, but not in the Windows version. The following assignment, using the macro language will work in both versions:

[Ctrl-W] [VISUAL EXIT]
if(CF(S_DSP_WRAP)==0){CF(S_DSP_WRAP,1)}else{CF(S_DSP_WRAP,0)}

This should all be entered as one line of course.

BTW - in my previous message I mentioned you must watch out for extra spaces in the .KEY file assignments. However, you will often see extra space following "[VISUAL EXIT]"; this is OK because you are then in Command Mode and extra spaces between the commands are ignored.

Ted.

Or shorter:

[Ctrl-W] [VISUAL EXIT] CF(S_DSP_WRAP, CF(S_DSP_WRAP)==0)

Ouch! You are impressive. I never thought of that terse code.
Of course, unless you are very familiar with the VEDIT macro
language and C, you would never understand it.)
