Remapping a Key or Two-Key Sequence, Key Code Table

Page 131 highlights

Chapter 3 - Customizing Your Configuration You can remap any computer key or two-key sequence that does not perform a specific function on the computer. For example, you can remap the [B] key because it only types the lowercase letter B. Each computer key or two-key sequence generates a 4-digit hexadecimal remap code as listed in the "Key Code Table" on page 121. The key code tables list the 4-digit hexadecimal codes for ASCII characters for the computers. These codes identify the key or keys pressed. For example: Key [B] [SHIFT] [B] None Action Types a lowercase B Types an uppercase B 0002 4-Digit Hex Key Code 0062 0042 Remapping a Key or Two-Key Sequence 1 Select the key or two-key sequence to remap. 2 Determine the current 4-digit hexadecimal code of the keys and the code you will enter to remap the keys. For help, see "Key Code Table" on page 121. 3 Connect the mobile computer to your desktop PC. 4 Using any text editor, enter the keys you want remapped on individual lines in this format: remap=="string" or remap==, where: • "remap" is the command you enter in remap.cfg. • "key" is the 4-digit hexadecimal key or keys to which or from which you are remapping. • "string" is the new function for the key or keys, which can be a text string, ASCII mnemonic, or other 2-byte hexadecimal code. Enclose the entire string in quotation marks. 5 Save the new file as remap.cfg. 6 Download remap.cfg to the ITE folder on the mobile computer. Example 1: Suppose you want to remap "+" on your computer to send a message and then enter a carriage return. In the remap.cfg file, add this command: Example 2: remap=="My battery is low." To remap the function of the function keys to another key, replace string with the transmitted code for the function and replace key with the 4-digit hexadecimal key that will do the function. For example, to remap the [F6] function to the "B" key, add this command to the remap.cfg file: remap=="[17~" Example 3: This is an example of multiple hexadecimal codes in the right-most argument which makes a key into a text sequence with embedded EHLLAPI values for the [F4] and [F5] keys: remap=="EHLLAPI value""EHLLAPI value 2""END Intermec Terminal Emulator (ITE) User Guide 119

You can remap any computer key or two-key sequence that does not perform a
specific function on the computer. For example, you can remap the [B] key because
it only types the lowercase letter B.
Each computer key or two-key sequence generates a 4-digit hexadecimal remap code
as listed in the
“Key Code Table” on page 121.
The key code tables list the 4-digit
hexadecimal codes for ASCII characters for the computers. These codes identify the
key or keys pressed. For example:
Remapping a Key or Two-Key Sequence
1
Select the key or two-key sequence to remap.
2
Determine the current 4-digit hexadecimal code of the keys and the code you will
enter to remap the keys. For help, see
“Key Code Table” on page 121.
3
Connect the mobile computer to your desktop PC.
4
Using any text editor, enter the keys you want remapped on individual lines in
this format:
remap=<key>="string"
or
remap=<key>=<key>
, where:
“remap” is the command you enter in remap.cfg.
“key” is the 4-digit hexadecimal key or keys to which or from which you are
remapping.
“string” is the new function for the key or keys, which can be a text string,
ASCII mnemonic, or other 2-byte hexadecimal code. Enclose the entire string
in quotation marks.
5
Save the new file as remap.cfg.
6
Download remap.cfg to the ITE folder on the mobile computer.
Example 1:
Suppose you want to remap “+” on your computer to send a message and then enter
a carriage return. In the remap.cfg file, add this command:
remap=<002b>="My battery is low."<CR>
Example 2:
To remap the function of the function keys to another key, replace
string
with the
transmitted code for the function and replace
key
with the 4-digit hexadecimal key
that will do the function. For example, to remap the [F6] function to the “B” key,
add this command to the remap.cfg file:
remap=<0042>=<ESC>”[17~"
Example 3:
This is an example of multiple hexadecimal codes in the right-most argument which
makes a key into a text sequence with embedded EHLLAPI values for the [F4] and
[F5] keys:
remap=<xxxx>="EHLLAPI value"<1034>"EHLLAPI value
2"<1035>"END
