Appendix J – Hotkey sequence codes
These codes are used when defining hotkey switching sequenc es (macros) for host computers and allow you to
include almost any of the special keys on the keyboard.
Permissible key presses
Main control keys (see ‘Using abbreviations’
Backspace | Tab | Return | Enter | Ctrl | Alt | Win | Shift | LShift | RShift
LCtrl | RCtrl | LAlt | AltGr | RAlt | LWin | RWin | Menu | Escape | Space

ASCII characters
All characters can be entered using their ASCII codes, f rom 32 to 126 (i.e. A,B,C, … 1,2,3 etc.) with the exception
of the special characters ‘+’, ‘-’, ‘+– ’ and ‘*’ which have special meanings, as explained below.
Codes with special meanings
+ means press down the key that follows
– means release the key that follo ws
+– means press down and release the key that follows
* means wait 250ms (note: if a number immediately follo ws the asterisk, then the delay will equal the number,
in milliseconds)
Note: Hotkey sequences are not case sensitive.
Creating macro sequences
Hot key macro sequences can be up to 256 characters long. A ll keys are assumed to be released at the end of a
line, however, you can also determine that a key is press ed and released within a sequence. Any of the following
three examples will send a command that emulates a press and release of the Scroll Lock key:
+SCROLL-SCROLL
+-SCROLL
+SCROLL-
Example:
+-SCROLL+-SCROLL+1+ENTER
Press and release scroll twice, press 1 then enter then r elease all keys (equivalent definition is +SCROLL-
SCROLL+SCROLL-SCROLL+1+ENTER-1-ENTER)
Using abbreviations
To reduce the length of the key definitions, any unique abbre viation for a key can be used. For example: “scroll”,
“scr” and even “sc” all provide an identifiable match for “ScrollLock” whereas “en” could not be used because it
might mean “Enter” or “End” (“ent” would be suitable for “Enter”).
Note: Hotkey sequences and abbreviations are not case sens itive.
