Siemens SINUMERIK Commissioning Manual page 489

When the user changes to another operating area, the repeat status of the hotkey is cleared.
In the new area, the hotkey is considered not to have been pressed. It does not matter how
the user changed to the other operating area (operating area menu, etc.). In addition, each
time a function key is pressed (e.g., softkey, area switchover key, channel switchover key,
etc.), the status is reset.
Inputting data into fields in the current dialog does not interrupt the repetition sequence.
Pressing a softkey in the current dialog interrupts the repetition sequence with the softkey
that was used to call the current dialog.
Note
Multiple keypress is possible for HK1 - HK8 and for keys HK9 - HK49, which are reserved for
Siemens.
Example of multiple hotkey keypress
The first time the hotkey is pressed, the associated area is activated and a state/action may
be initiated in this area (entry 1). Pressing the hotkey again will execute the subsequent
entries for this hotkey and an area switchover will not take place. Once all the entries
configured for a hotkey have been executed, the cycle is repeated. The entries are always
executed in ascending order (from 0-9). Execution in descending order is not possible. There
must be no "event gaps" in the configuration (missing entries). A gap is treated like the end
of the chain and processing will restart at Key x.0 the next time a key is pressed.
