Function
The SFT key modifies only the next key pressed; it must be pressed before each key you wish to
modify. SFT toggles the keyboard between uppercase alphabet mode and lowercase alphabet
mode. Use SFT toggle Caps Lock on and off by double-tapping it or by pressing SFT + the Red
modifier key. When Caps Lock is toggled on, characters are uppercase; when toggled off, characters
are lowercase.
Functions of the ALT and CTRL keys depend on the software application in use and the keys pressed
in combination with each.
The blue and red keys are used in combination with other keys to type special characters and perform
system functions. Each key modifies only the next key pressed.
The overlay of each keyboard is color-coded to indicate the character typed or function performed
when specific keys are pressed immediately after the blue or red modifier key.
