The following keymap is used on an Thor VX8 that is NOT running RFTerm. RFTerm uses a separate keymap.

When using a sequence of keys that includes the 2nd key, press the 2nd key first then the rest of the key sequence.

When the Thor VX8 boots, the default condition of Caps (or CapsLock) is Off. The Caps (or CapsLock) condition can be toggled with a 2nd + F1 key sequence. The CAPS LED is illuminated when CapsLock is On. The keymaps below assume Caps is Off.

The Thor VX8 keyboard has several control keys. The following control keys are not used:

The 2nd function of the F3 key is not used as Windows Power Management controls all power management modes on the Thor VX8.

The 2nd functions of the F4 and F5 keys are not used as the display brightness is adjusted via the buttons on the front of the Thor VX8.

The 2nd functions of the F6 and F7 keys are not used as the Thor VX8 has TFT LCD screen with no provision for contrast adjustments.

The 2nd functions of the F8 and F9 keys are not used as the sound volume on the Thor VX8 is controlled with a Microsoft Windows Control Panel.

The 2nd function of the F10 key is not used as the display backlight timer also controls the keyboard backlight.
