4-2 Defining Keys

Customization

If you want to program a key to behave differently than one of the
factory defined keys, then you will need to know about the
following VGB10 / VGB11 key categories:
Function:
Alphanumeric:

Modifier Keys

Modifier keys vary from within the function and alphanumeric
categories. A modifier key is a key that modifies the behavior of
other keys when it is pressed and held down. For example,
pressing an alphanumeric key in combination with the Shift
modified key will normally send the shifte d or uppercase
characters for that key.
Modifier keys are treated as a special kind of local terminal
function. The VGB10 / VGB11 function modifier keys are: Shift,
Ctrl, and Alt. VGB10 / VGB11 alphanumeric keys can also be
modified by pressing Group Shift (Alt Gr on enhanced PC keyboards)
and Alt+Shift (Shift-2). Modifier keys themselves cannot normally be
modified by other keys. A key assigned to act as the Shift modifier,
for example, cannot transmit a functions sequence when pressed
in combination with the Alt key. Defining a key as a modifier key
makes all assignable combinations of that key act as a modifier.

Creating a New Function

To define a new function key:
1. From the Keyboard menu item, select the Define key... function,
and the Define key editor menu will appear.
Press the key for which you want to assign a new behavior.
2.
3. Press the ß and à keys to highlight the "Function" radio
button (• Function) and press Enter.
Keys used to transmit function key sequences
or to perform local terminal functions such as
the arrow keys (ß, à, á, â), and Shift modifier
keys, or the Set-Up key.
Keys used to transmit alphanumeric characters.
