Modifier Keys

Note: Almost all keys can be reprogrammed to suit your requirements.

3.5.1 Modifier Keys

The <SHIFT>, <CTRL>, <ALT>, <ORANGE> and <BLUE> keys are modifier
keys. Pressing a modifier key changes the function of the next key pressed. For
example, on a WORKABOUT PRO C, a square bracket is printed in orange print
above the <4> key. Pressing the <ORANGE> key followed by the <4> key displays
a square bracket rather than the number 4.
The <SHIFT>, <CTRL> and <ALT> keys operate like a desktop keyboard except
that they are not chorded (two keys held down simultaneously). The modifier key
must be pressed first followed by the key whose function you want modified.
3.5.1.1
When a modifier key is pressed once, it is represented in the shift-state indicator
icon in the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. When the next key is pressed, the
modifier key becomes inactive, the shift-state indicator icon disappears from the
taskbar, and the soft keyboard icon is once again displayed.
