Overview

This terminal provides a powerful Define Key Editor that allows you to modify the function of keys on your keyboard. Since keystrokes can perform many different functions, it will take some practice to understand how the keys work. This section is an introduction to customizing your keyboard.

1.From the Keyboard menu item, select the Define key . . .

function, and the Define Key Editor menu will appear.

2.Press the key you want to define.

3.Choose Copy of key default and press Enter .

4.Press the key you want to copy.

5.Choose the OK or Apply button and press Enter .

Names are displayed in the Set-Up language selected (not according to the keyboard language). They are truncated to 12 characters in the definition field. The ± symbol indicates a toggle feature. Copying does not affect the function of the key being copied. The terminal always copies the standard function of the chosen key, even if you have redefined that key. You can undo a mistake by copying the default values of a key to itself.
