Editing Keypad Preferences

Select Keypad Preferences from the Edit menu to:

enable or disable the Ctrl+Alt+Delete function.

If enabled, the keypad recognizes this key sequence as a warm reset.

If disabled, the Delete key is ignored in the sequence, inhibiting a warm
reset. The default is enabled.

enable or disable simultaneous presses of remapped and/or modifier
keys.

If enabled, the keypad recognizes simultaneous key presses of remapped
keys with or without the Ctrl, Alt, or Shift keys.

If disabled, pressing a programmable key inhibits all other key presses.
Pressing a non-programmable Ctrl, Alt, or Shift key inhibits any program
key. The default is disabled.

For earlier firmware versions that do not permit modification, the dialog
is inactive (grayed).

Note about Multi-key Enable: Some software applications may operate
erratically when responding to simultaneous, multiple key presses. The
Multi-Key Enable option of 6180 Industrial Computers allows you to
enable/disable multiple key presses for predictable, reliable operation.

6180 Industrial Computers are shipped with a Multi-Key Enable
function, that is enabled (by default) for the keypad. Simultaneous key
presses of programmable keys are inhibited by this default setting. In
addition, all programmable keys are inhibited when a Ctrl, Alt or Shift
key is pressed. For example, <Alt + F>, a shortcut key combination for
the File menu function in many applications, is inhibited.

Saving Keypad Configurations

You can save a keypad configuration under the existing name or under a
new name.
