64-key QWERTY Keyboard
The Thor VM1 has a QWERTY keyboard, available with a standard overlay, an IBM 3270 overlay or an IBM 5250 overlay.
l Because the keyboard only has 64 keys, all functions are not visible (or printed on the keyboard). Therefore the Thor
VM1 keyboard supports what is called hidden keys -- keys that are accessible but not visible on the keyboard.
l A key or combination of keys can be remapped to provide a single keypress, a string of keypresses or to execute an
application or command. All key remapping is done using the KeyPad option in the Control Panel (Start > Settings >
Control Panel > Keypad).
l The keyboard does not have a NumLock indicator or key. NumLock is always On.
l The keyboard keys are backlit. The keyboard backlight and the display share the same timer, which is configured in
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Power. By default, when the display is On, the keyboard backlight is also On. The
keyboard backlight can be disabled, see Start > Settings > Control Panel > Options > Misc tab.
l The warmboot behavior of CapsLock can be set via the Misc tab in Start > Settings > Control Panel > Options.
