Add New Code

Figure 13- 16

Displays a list of valid keys and modifiers that you can assign to a
programmable key. Modifier (Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Win or Win Appl) are
enabled for a key code, by selecting the appropriate check boxes.

These check boxes are dynamically updated so that only valid
combinations are allowed.

After selecting a key code and modifiers, click the Enter button to
display the new code in the Text Edit box. You must click Enter after
each new code selection.

General Guidelines for Redefining Keys

The Keyboard Interface Controller (KIC) card allocates 64 bytes of flash
memory for the scan codes assigned to each programmable key.

A programmable key may be assigned:

a single printable or a single nonprintable key code (for example the
letter a or F1 or Left Ctrl+Left Alt+a).

multiple printable or multiple nonprintable key codes (for example, a
Shell command such as DIR C:\, or Left Ctrl+a and Left Alt+b).
