Softkey Function - Garmin G1000 Series Pilot's Manual

2.3 SOFTKEY FUNCTION

When a softkey is turned on, its color changes to black
text on gray background and remains this way until it is
turned off, at which time it reverts to white text on black
background. The CDI, IDENT, ADF/DME, TMR/REF,
NRST, and ALERTS softkeys change momentarily to
black text on gray background and automatically switch
back to white text on black background.
