HKM. See p. 10 for details.
When HKM is active, the Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs
flash in succession to indicate that HKM is in effect. They stop
flashing and revert to normal status when you exit HKM.
When HKM is active, ordinary keyboard and mouse functions
are suspended - only Hotkey compliant keystrokes and mouse
clicks (described in the sections that follow), can be input.
At the conclusion of some hotkey operations, you automatically
exit hotkey mode. With some operations, you must exit
manually. To exit HKM manually, press the Esc key, or the
Spacebar.
