The User Keyboard: Customizing key presses

User mode

You can assign alternative functionality to any key on the keyboard, including to the functionality provided by the shift and alpha keys. This enables you to customize the keyboard to your particular needs. For example, you could assign eto a function that is multi-nested on a menu and thus difficult to get to on a menu (such as ALOG).

A customized keyboard is called the user keyboard and you activate it when you go into user mode.

There are two user modes:

•Temporary user mode: the next key press, and only the next, enters the object you have assigned to that key. After entering that object, the keyboard automatically returns to its default operation.

To activate temporary user mode, press SW (User). Notice that 1U appears in the title bar. The 1 will remind you that the user keyboard will be active for just one key press.

•Persistent user mode: each key press from now until you turn off user mode will enter whatever object you have assigned to a key.
