5.6.6.1Trigger Mappings

A trigger mapping is an association between a particular key on the keyboard and a driver or application, the “owner(s)” of the trigger source. When the specified key is pressed, the owner (for example, a decoded scanner) is sent a message.

Important: It is not possible to have two or more identical mappings—for example [F1] cannot be mapped to the Non-Decoded Scanner twice—even if the trigger type is different.

A keyboard key that is used as a trigger source will no longer gen- erate key data or perform its normal function. For example, if the space button is used as a trigger source, it will not be able to send space characters to applications.

Double-Click

When a key is pressed and released, then pressed again within the configured time (between 0 to 1000 milliseconds), a double-click occurs. See also “Trigger Type” on page 112.

Show All

By default, the trigger mapping list only shows active mappings. Mappings for drivers or applications that are not currently active are not normally displayed. By checking this checkbox, all mappings, both active and inactive, are displayed.

Add

Tapping this button brings up the Add mapping dialog (see below), so that you can add new trigger mappings.

Edit

Tapping this button brings up the Edit mapping dialog, so that you can edit existing trigger mappings.

Remove

Tapping this button removes an existing mapping.

OK

The OK button in the top right of the Manage Triggers screen saves all changes made. If the cancel button X is tapped instead, or the [ESC] key is pressed, all changes made will be discarded.
