For example, B501001F inserts an “a” on a U.S. style keyboard. B5 = the command, 01 = number of keys
pressed (without the key modifier), 00 is No Key Modifier, and 1F is the “a” key. If an “A” were to be
inserted, B501011F or B501021F would be entered.
If there are two keystrokes, the syntax would change from Syntax=B5nnssxx for one keystroke to
Syntax=B5nnssxxssxx. An example that would insert “aA” is as follows: B502001F011F.
Note: Key modifiers can be added together when needed. Example: Shift Left + Alt Left + Control Left =15
