Key Combinations & Sequences
You can program a key to perform the function of a combination or sequence of keys. For example, you can cause the F1 key to perform the same function as pressing the keys Alt + F4 together, or pressing the keys F2 then F3 then F4.
Keys are identified by their virtual key names as listed in the Virtual Key Names appendix. The virtual key name has to be enclosed by the < and > characters in the key definition box. You may omit the VK_ and VT_ (etc.) parts of the virtual key name.
To program a key so that it performs the same function as pressing two or more other keys together, type the < character followed by the virtual key names linked together with + (plus sign) characters and ending with the > character.
For example, to program the F1 key so that when it is pressed it performs the same function as pressing the keys Alt + F4 together, enter the following characters in the key definition box:
<ALT+F4>
To program a key so that it performs the same function as pressing a sequence of keys one after the other, enter each virtual key name in the order required, enclosing each virtual key name with the < and > characters. Each enclosed virtual key name must immediately follow the previous enclosed virtual key name with no spaces. For example, to program the A key so that when it is pressed it performs the same function as pressing the keys F2 then F3 then F4 enter the following characters in the key definition box:
<F2><F3><F4>
