Appendix G – Allowable HOTKEY Sequences
These codes are used when defining hotkey switching sequences (macros) for host computers and allow you to
include almost any of the special keys on the keyboard.
Main control keys
Backspace | Tab | Return | Enter | Ctrl | Alt | Win | Shift | LShift | RShift | LCtrl | RCtrl | LAlt | AltGr | RAlt | LWin | RWin
Menu | Escape | Space | CapsLock | NumLock | PrintScreen | Scrolllock
Math operand keys
Add (Plus) | Subtract (Minus) | Multiply
Central control keys
Insert | Delete | Home | End | PageUp | PageDown | Up | Down | Left | Right | Print | Pause
Keypad keys
KP_Insert | KP_Delete | KP_Home | KP_End | KP_PageUp | KP_PageDown | KP_Up | KP_Down | KP_Left
KP_Right | KP_Enter | KP_Add | KP_Subtract | KP_Divide | KP_Multiply | KP_0 to KP_9
Function keys
F1 | F2 | F3 | F4 | F5 | F6 | F7 | F8 | F9 | F10 | F11 | F12
ASCII characters
All characters can be entered using their ASCII codes, from 32 to 126 (i.e. A,B,C, … 1,2,3 etc.) with the exception of
the special characters ‘+’, ‘-’, ‘+–’ and ‘*’ which have special meanings, as explained below.
Codes with special meanings
+
means press down the key that follows
–
means release the key that follows
+–
means press down and release the key that follows
*
means wait 250ms (note: if a number immediately follows the asterisk, then the delay will equal the number,
in
milliseconds)
Note: Hotkey sequences are not case sensitive.
Creating macro sequences
Hot key macro sequences can be up to 256 characters long. All keys are assumed to be released at the end of a
line, however, you can also determine that a key is pressed and released within a sequence. Any of the following
three examples will send a command that emulates a press and release of the Scroll Lock key:
+SCROLL-SCROLL : +-SCROLL : +SCROLL-
Example:
+-SCROLL+-SCROLL+1+ENTER
Press and release scroll twice, press 1 then enter then release all keys (equivalent definition is +SCROLL-
SCROLL+SCROLL-SCROLL+1+ENTER-1-ENTER)
Using abbreviations
To reduce the length of the key definitions, any unique abbreviation for a key can be used. For example: “scroll”, “scr”
and even “sc” all provide an identifiable match for “ScrollLock” whereas “en” could not be used because it might
mean “Enter” or “End” (“ent” would be suitable for “Enter”).
Note: Hotkey sequences and abbreviations are not case sensitive.
