F-key
- noun Short for 'function key'. Some players use comms packages which
allow them to define text that is transmitted when such a key is struck;
they're a form of unexpandable macro. For
example, the route from the NRBL to the
spring may be on an F-key so that
the player doesn't have to rely on maps or memory.
Killers are notorious users of
F-keys: they usually set them up with some
non-name as the commands' object, then when they have selected their victim
they will syn them with this target name. Consequently, their battery of
fight-oriented F-keys will be victim-specific! Sometimes,
F-keys are called
'hot keys', but the latter term does not properly apply to fully
reprogrammable keys. See macro mode.
