bindkeys

In the bindkey editor there are two command columns, the command line and the enter function command line. What is the syntax in UNIX for writing the command to the enter function command?

I am wanting to run a command after the move or copy command has been activated.

     Hi,

    Although you say you've found the answer, here is the SKILL syntax/method for setting
    bindkeys for the benefit of others who may be left wondering...

    hiSetBindKey(
      [t_applicationType]
      [t_key]
      [t_skill_cmd]
    )
    => t | nil
    
    <snip>
    If t_key ends with "EF", the SKILL command is used in enterfunction 
    mode. Otherwise, it is a non-enterfunction mode command. If there is
    no enterfunction mode command defined when a key or mouse event
    happens in enterfunction mode, the non-enterfunction mode command for this key is used. <snip>

    Examples:
    hiSetBindKey("Command Interpreter" "None<Key>F6" "hiQuit( )") hiSetBindKey("Schematics" "None EF" "mouseAddPt( )")

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.
