Factor

Type

Text

The Factor switch, together with the Friction switch, controls how quickly PWB executes a fast function. A fast function is a PWB function whose action repeats as rapidly as possible while you hold down the associated keystroke.

Syntax

Factor:{%percent|-constant} [[count]]

percent

Percentage between 0 and 100 to reduce friction.

constant

Constant value between 0 and 65,535 to reduce friction.

count

Interval between reductions of friction.

PWB reduces friction by percent percent or constant every count repetition of a keystroke, until friction is zero.

Default

Factor:%50 10

Example

If you hold down the RIGHT ARROW key with the settings:

Right :RIGHT

Fastfunc:Right

Friction:1000

Factor :%75 7

PWB moves the cursor at the current speed until it has moved seven characters to the right. Then PWB changes the friction to 250 (75 percent reduction of the initial friction of 1000). When the cursor has moved 14 characters, the friction changes to 188 (75 percent reduction of the friction of 250). The cursor moves faster the longer you hold down the RIGHT ARROW key.
