Chapter 3 - Customizing Your Configuration Creating a Remapping Macro 1 Using any text editor, add the macro=="string" Macro command to the end of the remap.cfg file, where: • "macro" is the command you enter in remap.cfg. • "key" is the 4-digit hexadecimal key or keys you are remapping. • "string" is the new action for the key or keys. The string can be a text string, ASCII mnemonic, or other 2-byte hexadecimal code. Enclose the entire string in quotation marks. 2 At the end of the macro, type runmacro=, where key is the 4-digit hexadecimal code that identifies the keys that activate the macro. 3 Save the file name as remap.cfg for the macros to work. 4 Append the new remap to the original hex file. 5 Copy remap.cfg to the ITE folder on the mobile computer. Example: Assign the * key to activate a macro which remaps the 1-9 keys and the 0 key to F1F9 and F10 respectively. macro== macro== macro== macro== macro== macro== macro== macro== macro== macro== runmacro= Normally, if the user presses the 1 key the value of "1" is sent to the host. Using this macro, if the user presses the * key and then the "1" key the F1 AID key is sent to the host. Nesting Macros Macros do not nest. The right-most argument is processed as key strokes and not scanned for macro values. For example: // swap "3" and "5" keys remap=="5" // map "3" key to a "5" key remap=="3" // map "5" key to a "3" key The "3" key produces a "5" key. If nesting was allowed, the "5" key is recognized as a macro that produces the "3" key and the "3" key is recognized as a "5" key that produces the "7" key, and so forth. 120 Intermec Terminal Emulator (ITE) User Guide
