2.3.3.2 Locking Modifier Keys

Note: The locking behaviour of the modifier keys can be changed so that, for example,
pressing a modifier key once will lock the key 'on'. Refer to "One Shots" on page 99
for details. Note too that by default, the [ORANGE] key is locked 'on' when pressed
only once.
When a modifier key is locked 'on', it will remain active until it is pressed again to unlock
or turn it off.
To help you identify when a modifier key is locked 'on', the key is represented in the shift-
state indicator icon with a black frame around it.
