Scancode Remapping

A scancode is a number that is associated with a physical key on a keyboard. Every key has a unique scan-
code that is mapped to a virtual key, a function, or a macro. Scancode Remapping allows you to change the
functionality of any key on the keyboard. A key can be remapped to send a virtual key (e.g. VK_F represents
the 'F' key; VK_RETURN represents the [ENTER] key, etc.), perform a function (e.g. turn the scanner on,
change volume/contrast, etc.) or run a macro.
There are three different tables of scancode mappings: the Normal table, the FN table and the SYM table.
The Normal table defines unmodified key presses; the FN table defines key presses that occur when the
[FN/BLUE] modifier is on; the SYM table defines key presses that occur when the [SYM] modifier is on. The
default mappings of these scancodes can be overwritten for each of these three tables using Scancode
Remapping.
The first column in the Scancode Remapping tab displays the scancodes in hexadecimal. If the scancode is
remapped to a virtual key, that virtual key is displayed in the next column labelled 'V-Key'. A virtual key that
is 'Shifted' or 'Unshifted' is displayed in the third column labelled 'Function'.
If the scancode is remapped to a function or a macro, the first and second columns remain blank while the
third column contains the function name or macro key number (e.g., Macro 2).
