Support for Multimedia and special Sun keys
Various manufacturers added special keys to the standard keyboards.
Some keyboards are provided with multimedia keys which enable the user to easily
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. These keys can
be used at the console after enabling the keyboard mode for Sun desktops and serv-
ers. If the console only has a standard keyboard available, several key combinations
are provided to emulate Solaris Shortcut Keys (see page 23).
Several USB Keymodes are provided for using the special keys of such keyboards.
How to (de)activate the support for Multimedia or special Sun keys:
NOTE:
This function can only be (de)activated in the web application.
