Qwerty Keyboard; Ibm 3270 Overlay - Honeywell vx6 Reference Manual

QWERTY Keyboard

The VX6 has a QWERTY keyboard, available with a standard overlay, an IBM 3270 overlay or an IBM 5250 overlay. These
keyboards have 101 keyboard functions, including a numeric keypad.
The keyboard supports all 101 keyboard functions. However, because the keyboard only has 60 keys, all functions are
l
not visible (or printed on the keyboard). Therefore the VX6 keyboard supports what is called hidden keys -- keys that
are accessible but not visible on the keyboard.
A key or combination of keys can be remapped to provide a single keypress, a string of keypresses or to execute an
l
application or command. All key remapping is done using the KeyPad option in the Control Panel (Start > Settings >
Control Panel > Keypad).
The keyboard does not have a NumLock indicator or key. NumLock is always On.
l
The keyboard keys are backlit. The keyboard backlight and the display share the same timer, which is configured in
l
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Power. When the display is On, the keyboard backlight is also On.
