Key-Others Trigger

Description

A Key-Others trigger fires when an operator presses the associated key.

A Key-Others trigger is associated with all keys that can have key triggers associated with them but are not currently defined by function key triggers (at any level).

A Key-Others trigger overrides the default behavior of a Runform function key (unless one of the restrictions apply). When this occurs, however, Oracle Forms still displays the function key's default entry in the Keys screen.
