• If you use the Learn by Key Position function, and define two key commands (one for

the alphanumeric keyboard, one for the numeric keypad), then the appropriate key
command will be used (one for each number 7 key, for example).

In circumstances where an existing local key command combination is used, when
assigning a new global key command, a warning message appears. This warning message
explains where the existing local key command combination is used and whether it has
a higher or lower priority than the one you are trying to assign. You have the following
options:

Cancel: Press this button if you do not want to alter existing assignments.

Replace: Press this button if you want to replace the existing shortcut (assigned to the

chosen key command combination) with the selected function.

OK: Press this button if you want to assign the key command combination to the

selected function, while retaining the existing key command or function.
