Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your Ikôn

Activating Modifier Keys

3.2.3.1 Activating Modifier Keys

When a modifier key is pressed once, it is displayed in lowercase letters in the taskbar at the bottom of the Ikôn screen. For example, if the [CTRL] key is pressed, ctrl key is displayed at the bottom of the unit screen. Once the next key is pressed, the modifier key becomes in- active and disappears from the taskbar.

Keep in mind, however, that the ‘One Shot’ function allows you to determine how many key presses will lock a modifier key ‘on’—one press or two. Refer to “Keyboard One Shot Modes” on page 90 for details.

3.2.3.2 Locking Modifier Keys

When a modifier key is pressed twice, it is ‘locked’ on. A ‘locked’ modifier key is displayed in uppercase letters in the taskbar. For example, pressing the [CTRL] key twice locks it on—it is displayed as CTRL KEY in the taskbar at the bottom of the computer screen.

The locked modifier key will remain active until it is pressed a third time to unlock or turn it off. Once a modifier key is unlocked, the uppercase representation at the bottom of the screen is no longer displayed.

3.2.4The 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, dis- playing 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 Arrow keys move the cursor around the screen in the direction of the arrow: up, down, left and right. The cursor is the flashing box or underline character that indicates where the next character you type will appear.

The [SPACE] Key

Pressing this key inserts a blank space between characters. In a Windows dialog box, press- ing the [SPACE] key enables or disables a checkbox.
