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 must be enclosed in < 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 keys Alt + F4, enter the following characters in the key definition box: To program a key so that it performs the same function as pressing a sequence of keys one after the other, enter each virtual key name in the order required, enclosing each virtual key name with the < and > characters. Each enclosed virtual key name must immediately follow the previous enclosed virtual key name with no spaces. For example, to program the A key so that when it is pressed it performs the same function as pressing the keys F2 then F3 then F4 enter the following characters in the key definition box: Soft Buttons This dialog box is displayed by selecting Soft Buttons in the Settings menu.

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 must be enclosed in
<
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 func-
tion as keys
Alt
+
F4
, enter the following characters in the key definition box:
<
ALT+F4
>
To program a key so that it performs the same function as pressing a sequence of keys one
after the other, enter each virtual key name in the order required, enclosing each virtual
key name with the
<
and
>
characters. Each enclosed virtual key name must immediately
follow the previous enclosed virtual key name with no spaces. For example, to program
the
A
key so that when it is pressed it performs the same function as pressing the keys
F2
then
F3
then
F4
enter the following characters in the key definition box:
<
F2
><
F3
><
F4
