358 Hog 4 Operations Manual
19.1 Command Key Overview
Command Keys are user-created single button executor that trigger existing show objects
including palettes, groups, views, lists, scenes, and keystroke macros. Command keys are
stored in the commands directory and are also accessible using the 12 function keys on the
front panel of the console (when the function keys are set to command mode). To toggle the
function keys between kind mode and command mode hold down Pig and press Enter. The
mode of the function keys is displayed on the main toolbar (KIND / CMD). To open the
command directory hold the o pe n key and press the "Commands" button on the main
toolbar.
19.2 Creating Command Keys
Command keys are created by using the "move" syntax of the console to assign existing
show objects to empty cells in the commands directory or to blank function keys on the front
panel (when the console's function keys are set to CMD mode). Please note that the original
show objects are not actually being moved.
Here is an example of how to create a command key for cuelist 1:
1. List 1
2. Move
3. Press any empty cell in the command directory or press any empty function key on the
front panel (if the console's function keys are set to command mode)
Tip: When command keys are created they automatically inherit the name and colour-
coding of the show object that they are linked to. Changing the name or colour-coding of a
command key will change the name and colour-coding of the show object it is linked to and
vice-versa.
19.3 Copying, Moving and Deleting Command Keys
Command keys can be copied, moved, and deleted using both the commands directory and
the function keys on the front panel (when the console's function keys are set to command
mode).
To delete a command key: Press and hold delete; then press a command key on the
front panel or in the commands directory.
To move a command key: Press and hold move; then press a command key on the
front panel or in the commands directory; after you release the move key press any
empty command key on the front panel or empty cell in the commands directory.
To copy a command key: Press and hold copy; then press a command key on the
front panel or in the commands directory. after you release the copy key press any
empty command key on the front panel or empty cell in the commands directory.
