Re: jed, edt and keydefs

Hi,

Ideally for edt would be that the GOLD key would only be used
as a key that can be pressed before another keypad or normal
key to get a second function. 
Pressing it twice may or may not toggle the state of the keypad
depending on the platform...

On Windows with numlock as the GOLD key this works fine. On other
systems, usually numlock changes the state of the keypad.
So I chose KP_7 as the GOLD key and, after hitting numlock twice,
the keypad changes and KP_7 produces a '7'. Hitting numlock twice
will change the state once again and then KP_7 works as the GOLD key.

         Thei.
