Locking Modifier Keys

3.5.1.2Locking Modifier Keys

Note: The locking behaviour of the modifier keys can be changed so that, for example, pressing any of these keys once will lock the keys ‘on’. Refer to “One Shots” on page 82 for details. Note too that by default, the <ORANGE> key is locked ‘on’ when pressed only once.

When a modifier key is pressed twice to lock it ‘on’, it will remain active until it is pressed a third time to unlock or turn it off.

To help you identify when a modifier key is locked ‘on’, the key is represented in the shift-state indicator icon with a black frame around it.

Figure 3.7 Shift-State Indicator Icon – Locked Modifier Key

Once a modifier key is unlocked, the shift-state indicator icon is replaced by the soft keyboard icon in the taskbar.

3.5.2 The Keys

The <SHIFT> Key

The <SHIFT> key is used to display uppercase alpha characters and provide access to the symbols above the numeric keys. Pressing this key twice locks it ‘on’ so that when you press an alpha key, an upper case character is displayed. When you press a numeric key, the associated symbol on the numeric key is displayed on the screen.

Pressing <BLUE> <SHIFT> allows the <SHIFT> key to act as a <CAPS> key, dis- playing uppercase characters.

The Arrow Keys

The Arrow keys are located on the grey, circular key at the top of the keyboard, directly below the display. The arrow keys move the cursor around the screen–up, down, left and right. The cursor is the flashing box or underline character that indi- cates where the next character you type will appear.

The <BKSP/DEL> Key

The <BKSP> key (sometimes referred to as destructive backspace) moves the cursor one character to the left, erasing the incorrectly entered key stroke.

The <DEL> key (<BLUE> <BKSP>) erases the character at the cursor position.
