Defining A Key Or Key Combination 1. Click in the Program Key box then press the key or key combination to define. The current definition is displayed. 2. Click in the With box then enter the new definition, or make a selection from the list of Predefined Macros then click Apply. 3. Check the Local check box to make the key definition action locally, or uncheck it to transmit the definition to the host when the key or key combination is pressed. 4. Click the Add button to accept the definition. The new definition is added to the Current Macro Definitions list. Entering Control Characters You can enter a control character either as the control key character equivalent or the decimal value of the ASCII character. For example, the control character for the Return key function, CR (carriage return), can be entered by typing the characters ^ and M, representing the keys Ctrl + M which, when pressed together would generate the CR code. Decimal values are entered as three-digit numbers immediately preceded by an underscore character. Values with only two digits must be preceded by a zero. For example, the decimal value of CR is 13, so this would be entered as _013. Refer to the ASCII character table in the Character Sets appendix for code and decimal references. Key Combinations & Sequences You can program a key to perform the function of a combination or sequence of keys. For example, you can cause the F1 key to perform the same function as pressing the keys Alt + F4 together, or pressing the keys F2 then F3 then F4. Keys are identified by their virtual key names as listed in the Virtual Key Names appendix. The virtual key name has to be enclosed by the < and > characters in the key definition box. You may omit the VK_ and VT_ (etc.) parts of the virtual key name. To program a key so that it performs the same function as pressing two or more other keys together, type the < character followed by the virtual key names linked together with + (plus sign) characters and ending with the > character. For example, to program the F1 key so that when it is pressed it performs the same function as pressing the keys Alt + F4 together, enter the following characters in the key definition box: Keyboard Configuration 2-3

Defining A Key Or Key Combination
1.
Click in the
Program Key
box then press the key or key combination to define. The
current definition is displayed.
2.
Click in the
With
box then enter the new definition, or make a selection from the list
of
Predefined Macros
then click
Appl
y.
3.
Check the
Local
check box to make the key definition action locally, or uncheck it to
transmit the definition to the host when the key or key combination is pressed.
4.
Click the
Add
button to accept the definition. The new definition is added to the
Cur-
rent Macro Definitions
list.
Entering Control Characters
You can enter a control character either as the control key character equivalent or the dec-
imal value of the ASCII character. For example, the control character for the
Return
key
function,
CR
(carriage return), can be entered by typing the characters
^
and
M
, repre-
senting the keys
Ctrl
+
M
which, when pressed together would generate the
CR
code.
Decimal values are entered as three-digit numbers immediately preceded by an underscore
character. Values with only two digits must be preceded by a zero. For example, the deci-
mal value of
CR
is 13, so this would be entered as
_013
.
Refer to the ASCII character table in the
Character Sets
appendix for code and decimal
references.
Key Combinations & Sequences
You can program a key to perform the function of a combination or sequence of keys. For
example, you can cause the
F1
key to perform the same function as pressing the keys
Alt
+
F4
together, or pressing the keys
F2
then
F3
then
F4
.
Keys are identified by their virtual key names as listed in the
Virtual Key Names
appen-
dix. The virtual key name has to be enclosed by the
<
and
>
characters in the key defini-
tion box. You may omit the
VK_
and
VT_
(etc.) parts of the virtual key name.
To program a key so that it performs the same function as pressing two or more other keys
together, type the
<
character followed by the virtual key names linked together with +
(plus sign) characters and ending with the
>
character.
For example, to program the
F1
key so that when it is pressed it performs the same func-
tion as pressing the keys
Alt
+
F4
together, enter the following characters in the key defi-
nition box:
<
ALT
+
F4
>
