Using drag-and-drop to assign a key

To assign a key to open a program or document:

1Start both Fn-esse and Windows® Explorer (or the program supporting drag-and-drop).

2Resize the Explorer window so that you can see both the Fn-esse keyboard and Explorer at the same time.

3In the Explorer window, highlight the program or document file you wish to assign to a key.

4Click and hold the primary button as you drag the highlighted item from Explorer to the key on the Fn-esse keyboard which you are assigning to the item.

5Release the primary button.

Fn-esse displays the Add/Edit Command dialog box with the Description, Command Line, and Working Directory fields automatically completed.

6Click OK to close the Add/Edit Command dialog box with your key assignment in place.

The program or document is now associated with the key you just selected. To open the program or document, press Fn plus the appropriate key from within any Windows®-based program.
