Using the Modifier Keys
The Dolphin 7400/7450 terminal keyboard features the standard Windows modifier keys, Alt, Ctrl and Shift. The Shift key only
modifies the next key pressed; it must be pressed before each key you wish to make lower case. For multiple lower case
characters, hold the Shift key down with one hand while typing with the other. Functions of the Alt and Ctrl keys are dependent
on the software application in use.
There are two additional modifier keys located on the bottom row of the keyboard. The Red and Blue keys only modify the next
key pressed; these keys must be pressed and released before each key you wish to modify to the Blue or Red case. Use these
keys in combination with other keys to type the corresponding color-coded characters and functions. See the charts below for
key combinations that access the functions and special characters using these keys.
