I currently use Multi Edit 8.0 with "Brief Emulation".  I have turned on
"Brief Emulation" in VX, but have noticed that not all of the keystrokes I
am used to in Multi Edit's "Brief Emulation" are not present in VX's "Brief
Emulation".

Shouldn't "Brief Emulation" be the same no matter what editor you are
using???


So far, the keys that I noticed were not working the same are:

"+" on the Numeric Keypad to copy highlighted text to the clipboard.
"-" on the Numeric Keypad to cut highlighted text to the clipboard.

Just my $.02

Hi Jim,

 sorry for being late in catching your question.

 I added your two findings to our list of know problems.
 However the configuration table for Brief Keybord settings
 says the following:

 oKeyMap:VK_MINUS := {|o|o:CutToClipboard()}
 oKeyMap:VK_INSERT := {|o|o:PasteFromClipboard()}
 oKeyMap:VK_PLUS := {|o|o:CopyToClipboard()}
 oKeyMap:VK_MULTIPLY := {|o|o:Undo()}

 So the reason is not a config issue, it looks like it is more
 some issue related to keyboard mgmt.

 regards,
 Steffen F. Pirsig,
