Because the keyboard only has 64 keys, all functions are not visible (or printed on the keyboard). Therefore the Thor VM1 keyboard supports what is called hidden keys -- keys that are accessible but not visible on the keyboard.

A key or combination of keys can be remapped to provide a single keypress, a string of keypresses or to execute an application or command. Key remapping is configured via the KeyPad (page 5-69)control panel.

Remapped keys persist across a warmboot or power cycle.

The keyboard does not have a NumLock indicator or key. NumLock is always On.

The warmboot behavior of CapsLock can be set via the Misc tab of the Options (page 5-78)control panel.

Note: When automatic brightness control is enabled for a Thor VM1 with an Outdoor display, the manual display brightness controls in the table below have no effect.
