Modifier Keys
This onscreen keyboard displays the symbols mapped to each key.
• Tap on the left and right arrows in the SIP onscreen keyboard to display all the symbols available
to you.
Note: Modifier keys are remapped in the Control Panel, and the Symbol SIP will automatically
show and use the new mappings after the next reboot.
The onscreen keyboard corresponds to the specific keyboard on your EP10 – either numeric or alpha.

Activating Modifier Keys

When a modifier key is pressed, it is represented in the shift-state indicator icon in the navigation bar at the
top of the screen, making it easier to determine whether or not a modifier key is active.

Locking Modifier Keys

Note: The locking behaviour of the modifier keys can be changed so that, for example, pressing a
modifier key once will lock the key 'on'. Refer to "OneShots" on page 137 for details.
When a modifier key is locked 'on', it will remain active until it is pressed again to unlock or turn it off.
To help you identify when a modifier key is locked 'on', the key is represented in the shift-state indicator
icon with a black frame around it.
