Support for multimedia or Sun special keys
Various manufacturers have added special keys to the standard keyboards.
Some keyboards are provided with multimedia keys through which it is possible to
comfortably operate special multimedia functions of the computer. For example,
the keyboard of the
Apple Mac mini
is provided with a key to open the DVD drive.
Compared to standard keyboards, Sun desktops and servers are provided with sepa-
rate keys (Solaris Shortcut Keys) to operate special system functions. After the key-
board mode for Sun desktops and servers has been activated, the Solaris Shortcut
Keys can be used at the workstation. If the workstation only provides a standard
keyboard, several key combinations can be applied to emulate the Solaris Shortcut
Keys (see page 26).
To be able to use special keys of such keyboards, several
USB Keymodes
are provided.
How to (de)activate the support for multimedia- or Sun special keys:
The support of multimedia or Sun special keys can only be changed in the setup menu.
