Key Combinations & Sequences
You can program a soft button to perform the function of a combination or sequence
of keys. For example, you can cause a button 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 text box. You may omit the VK_ and VT_ (etc.) parts of the virtual key
name.
To program a soft button 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 a button so that when it is pressed it performs the same
function as pressing the keys Alt + F4 together, enter the following characters in the
Command box:
<ALT+F4>
To program a button 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
Command box:
<F2><F3><F4>
