9.9 Quick Keys
The Micro-PWC Quick Keys feature provides each user with a personalized, pop-up keypad containing
from 32 to 64 keys for each Operator Window. Each of these keys can be configured to call up a different
display within an Operator Window. Because the set of Quick Keys is unique for every user, it can be cus-
tomized to fit each user’s individual needs.
Quick Keys operate within Operator Windows, allowing the user to call up a specific, pre-configured dis-
play by clicking on a single button. This can save a significant number of keystrokes, and is ideal for use
with frequently-viewed displays. By default, the parent Operator Window is the recipient of the new display,
although drag-and-drop operation can be used to cause the display to appear in a different Operator Win-
dow. Alternatively, the same Quick Keys keypad can be displayed simultaneously in all Operator Windows
on the screen. The Quick Keys keypads can remain on display indefinitely, and can be used as often as
desired to view the various displays available via Quick Key assignments. The keypads can be moved and
resized to suit the needs of the user and the size of the parent window.
9.9.1 Accessing the Quick Keys Feature
To access the Quick Keys feature, the user must be in an Operator Window with keyboard focus. The
Quick Keys keypad can be summoned using either the mouse or the PC keyboard. Using the mouse,
choose Select > Quick from the menu bar of the window. The window shown in
Figure 9-12 appears.
If Quick Keys have been configured, click on the desired Quick Key. The display assigned to that Quick
Key will be displayed by default in the Operator Window which is the parent to the Quick Key keypad. To
have the display appear in an Operator Window other than the parent window click on and hold down the
desired Quick Key, and drag it to the desired Operator Window, and then release the mouse button to
“drop” the display into that Operator Window.
