The key priority establishes a separate priority order within
each of the groups of keys 1 to 4 and keys 5 to 8. You can
make any setting within the groups of keys 1 to 4 or keys
5 to 8, but not for combinations of keys from different
groups. For example, it is not possible to set a priority
sequence of keys 1, 5, and 2.
