How do I automatically load bindkeys every time I open Virtuoso?

Unicode787Plus

For some reason, whenever I open Virtuoso in my school's UNIX/Linux account, bindkeys are not automatically enabled (except Esc to cancel a command). My only manual workaround is by typing the following on the CIW:

load(prependInstallPath("samples/local/leBindKeys.il"))

How do I set up my account to automatically load bindkeys?

  • Hi there,

    Are you using the sample cdsinit file from cadence? If you open your the equivalent of this file:

     ...../IC06.13.507/tools.lnx86/dfII/samples/local/cdsinit and search for bindKey you will find it should be referenced.

    If i remember correctly the first place cadence will look for a .cdsinit will be:

     IC06.13.507/tools.lnx86/dfII/local

    Do you have such a directory, i suspect you do not or it is empty? I had to create mine and then copy the sample cdsinit to .cdsinit, for example:

    cd  /IC06.13.507/tools/dfII

    mkdir local

    cd local

    cp  /IC06.13.507/tools.lnx86/dfII/samples/local/cdsinit .cdsinit

    Note that you can still have your own .cdsinit & .cdsenv in your working area to setup your own particular preferences.

    Hope this helps
