The Key Legend 8
The key legend specifies what appears on the keycap. It can be one of the following
types of data:
■ nil , in which case the key result is used as the legend.
■ A string, which is displayed centered in the keycap.
■ A character constant, which is displayed centered in the keycap.
■ A bitmap object, which is displayed centered in the keycap.
■ An integer. The number is displayed centered in the keycap and is used directly
as the key result, unless the
keyResultsAreKeycodes slot is set to true , as
described in the next section.
■ A method. The method is evaluated and its result is treated as if it had been
specified as the legend.
