Defining Key Functions
For example, to program the F1 key so that when it is pressed it per-
forms the same function as pressing the keys Alt + F4 together,
enter the following characters in the key definition box: <ALT+F4>
To program a key 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, enclosing each virtual key name with the < and >
characters. Each enclosed virtual key name must immediately follow
the previous enclosed virtual key name with no spaces. For example,
to program the A key so that when it is pressed it performs the same
function as pressing the keys F2 then F3 then F4 enter the following
characters in the key definition box: <F2><F3><F4>
There are various ways in which you can specify a particular charac-
ter. For example, the ESC character can be specified using any one
of the following five entries:
_027
Decimal value (underscore character followed by a 3-digit
number).
\033
Octal value (backslash character followed by a 3-digit
number).
\u001B Unicode value (backslash and u characters then unicode
value).
^[
Control key value (^ represents the control key on the key-
board).
\e
Additional value for ESC.
The following 'backslash' values can be used:
\u Unicode introducer
\n Line feed
Note that as the \ and ^ characters are used as value introducers, to
enter these as character values you need to precede them with a
backslash character, i.e. enter \ as \\ and ^ as \^.
The Euro character can be specified by entering the unicode value
\u20ac.
\r Carriage return
\e Escape
