Keyboard Configuration
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: <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>
Specifying Characters
There are various ways in which you can specify a particular character. For example,
the ESC character can be specified using any one of the following five entries:
_027 Decimal value (underscore character followed by a 3-digit number).
\033 Octal value (backslash character followed by a 3-digit number).
\u001B Unicode value (backslash and u characters then unicode value).
^[ Control key value (^ represents the control key on the keyboard).
\e Additional value for ESC.
The following 'backslash' values can be used:
\u Unicode introducer \r Carriage return
\n Line feed \e Escape
Note that as the \ and ^ characters are used as value introducers, to enter these as
character values you need to precede them with a backslash character, i.e. enter \ as \\
and ^ as \^.
The Euro character can be specified by entering the unicode value \u20ac.
