Locking Modifier Keys

3.4.2.2Locking Modifier Keys

Note: The locking behaviour of the modifier keys can be changed so that, for example, pressing a modifier key once will lock the key ‘on’. Refer to “One Shots” on page 91 for details. Note too that by default, the [FN/ORANGE] key is locked ‘on’ when pressed only once.

When a modifier key is locked ‘on’, it will remain active until it is pressed again 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.

Once a modifier key is unlocked or turned off, it is no longer displayed in the shift-state indicator icon.

3.4.3 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. You can lock this key ‘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.

If you press the [SHIFT] key twice, it is locked ‘on’ essentially acting as a [CAPS] key, displaying uppercase characters. In this state, if you type a numeric key, the number rather than the symbol above it is displayed. Press [SHIFT] again to turn the [CAPS] function off.

The Arrow Keys

The grey Arrow keys are located near the top of the keyboard, directly below the [SCAN] bar. The arrow keys move the cursor around the screen–up, down, left and right. The cursor is the flashing box or underline character that indicates where the next character you type will appear.
