UNION KEY (ALARM) -
This is a ‘sticky key’ which is useful if you are unable to hold down more than one key at a time.
After pressing Union, the following key pressed is considered ‘held down’, until after you press the
next key. To cancel the Union key, press Power or wait a few seconds for it to timeout.
The Union Key can also be used to find shortcuts to additional letters and symbols, for example, press
to type ‘Æ’.
You can also set this up as an Alarm Key in Shift-Menu > Alarm Key > Alarm Key Usage. This is
useful when you need someone’s attention.
Once set up, you can press and hold the Union key to sound the built-in alarm bell.
