The User Keyboard: Customizing key presses
You can assign alternative functionality to any key on the
keyboard, including to the functionality provided by the
shift and alpha keys. This enables you to customize the
keyboard to your particular needs. For example, you
could assign
e to a function that is multi-nested on a
menu and thus difficult to get to on a menu (such as
ALOG).
A customized keyboard is called the user keyboard and
you activate it when you go into user mode.
User mode
There are two user modes:
•
Temporary user mode: the next key press, and only
the next, enters the object you have assigned to that
key. After entering that object, the keyboard
automatically returns to its default operation.
To activate temporary user mode, press
SW
(User). Notice that 1U appears in the title bar. The 1
will remind you that the user keyboard will be active
for just one key press.
• Persistent user mode: each key press from now until
you turn off user mode will enter whatever object you
have assigned to a key.
