•Because the keyboard only has 12 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)option in the 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 via the Misc tab in the Options (page 5-78)control panel.

The Thor VM1 keyboard keys are backlit.

•By default, the keyboard backlight follows the display backlight. When the display backlight is on, the keyboard backlight is on.

•If the display backlight brightness is increased (or decreased) the keyboard backlight brightness is increased (or decreased).

•The keyboard backlight and the display share the same timer, which is configured in the Power (page 5-84)control panel.

•The keyboard backlight can be disabled via the Misc tab in the Options (page 5-78)control panel.

•The integrated keypad contains five programmable keys, a blue modifier key and an orange modifier key.
