Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your Ikôn

Locking The Keyboard

Note: Almost all keys can be reprogrammed to suit your requirements.

3.2.2Locking The Keyboard

You can lock either or both the keyboard and the touchscreen so that accidental key presses are prevented. When the keyboard is locked, a padlock icon shows in the Taskbar.

To lock the keyboard or touchscreen, go to Start>Settings>Control Panel>Keyboard Prop- erties>Lock Sequence and enable the options you need. When the keyboard is locked, a padlock icon shows in the Taskbar.

3.2.3Modifier Keys

The [SHIFT], [CTRL], [ALT], [BLUE] and [ORANGE] keys are “modifier” keys. Pressing a modifier key changes the function of the next key pressed. For example, on an 47-key key- board, a left bracket is printed in orange print above the [U] key. Pressing the [ORANGE] key, a modifier key, followed by the [U] key displays a left bracket rather than the letter U.

Note: Keep in mind that the [ALT] and [CTRL] keys are only available on numeric key- pads that are not equipped with phone keys. You can, however, access the [CTRL] key using the onscreen, soft keyboard.

The [SHIFT], [CTRL] and [ALT] keys operate much like a desktop keyboard except that they are not chorded (two keys held down simultaneously). The modifier key must be pressed first followed by the key whose function you want modified.
