When entering codes:

+means press down the key that follows

– means release the key that follows

+– means press down and release the key that follows

*means wait 250ms (note: if a number immediately follows the asterisk, then the delay will equal the number, in milliseconds)

It is automatically assumed that all keys specified will be released at the end, so there is need to specify -Ctrl or -Alt if these keys are to be released together.

See Appendix 8 for a list of key sequence codes that can be used. Examples:

‘Ctrl + Alt 12’ would be expressed as: +Ctrl+ Alt+1–1+2 +N means press the ‘N’ key

+Scroll means press the Scroll lock key +Space means press the space key
