Hotkeys

Various configuration actions related to the keyboard, video and mouse can be performed via hotkey combinations. The Hotkey setup utility is accessed by clicking on the Hotkey / Macros icon and then clicking on the Hotkeys button at the top of the screen. The Hotkeys screen displays the available hotkeys and their corresponding hotkey combinations.

By default, the only hotkeys that are enabled are the Exit Remote Location and Substitute Alt Key hotkeys. To enable/disable a hotkey, simply check/uncheck the box to the left of it. To change a hotkeys command sequence, follow the steps below.

1.Highlight the desired hotkey and click on the Set Hotkey button.

2.Key in the desired hotkey combination, one key at a time. The keys will be displayed in the hotkey column as they are entered. Note: Clicking the Cancel button will cancel the recording process. Clicking on the Clear button will delete any keys that you entered while keeping the recording process active.

3.When finished entering the hotkey sequence, click on the Save button.

Note: Clicking the Reset button will restore all of the default hotkey command sequences, and enable/disable defaults. You can use the same function keys for more than one hotkey command sequence, as long as the first key is not the same. For example, you can use [F1, F2, F3] for one action and [F2, F1, F3] for another, but you cannot use [F1, F3, F2] once [F1, F2, F3] has been used.

The table below lists the default hotkeys, along with a description of their functions and their default command sequences.
