Soft Buttons

This dialog box is displayed by selecting Soft Buttons in the Settings menu.

A set of soft buttons can be displayed in the command bar either by clicking one of the two arrow buttons, or by pressing the keys Ctrl + Alt + Left Cursor or Ctrl + Alt + Right Cursor. These soft buttons can be programmed so that they perform various functions when clicked.

You can define up to four soft button levels. Level 1 is displayed by default. Each level consists of twelve programmable buttons, providing a combined total of 48 programmable buttons. Levels stored off-screen can be 'scrolled' into view by clicking the arrow buttons.
