6.23.1 Trigger Mappings
A trigger mapping is an association between a particular key on the keyboard and a driver or
application, the module(s) – sometimes referred to as “trigger consumer(s)” – of the trigger
source. Along with keyboard keys, trigger sources can also be grip triggers, external hard-
ware triggers or software-based. When the specified key is pressed, the trigger consumer
(for example, a decoded scanner) is sent a message.
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 Press Type” on page162.
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 generate 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.
