Including Key Function Combinations & Sequences
You can program a key or button to perform the function of a combi-
nation or sequence of keys. For example, you can cause a key or but-
ton to perform the same function as pressing the keys
Alt + F4
together, or pressing the keys F2 then F3 then F4 .
Virtual Key Names
Key functions are identified by virtual key names as listed in the
Key
Macro Settings
dialog in the
Emulation Keys
and
Virtual Keys
list
boxes. The virtual key name has to be enclosed by the < and > char-
acters in the user definition box. You may omit the VK_ and VT_
(etc.) parts of the virtual key name.
For example, the virtual key name for the Return key function when
running a DEC VT terminal emulation is VT_RETURN . You
would enter this in the user definition box as follows:
<RETURN>
Key Combinations
To program a key or button so that it performs the same function as
pressing two or more other keys together, type the
< character, fol-
lowed by the virtual key names linked together with + (plus sign)
characters, and end with the
> character.
For example, to program a key or button so that when it is pressed it
performs the same function as pressing the keys
Alt + F4 together,
enter the following characters in the user definition box:
<ALT+F4>
Key Sequences
To program a key or button so that it performs the same function as
pressing a sequence of keys one after the other, enter each virtual
key name in the order required, starting and ending each virtual key
name with the
< and > characters, respectively. Each enclosed
virtual key name must immediately follow the previous enclosed
virtual key name with no spaces.
