Embedded actions of right-side function keys.

Keypad. The Keypad function key acts as a toggle key to activate the “embedded

layer” of the keyboard, including the embedded numeric keypad. Except for the

embedded numeric keypad and embedded right function keys, most embedded

keys have the same actions as the top level keys, but can be reprogrammed to be

different.

Progrm. The Progrm key is only active when pressed first in combination with

certain other keys for programming the keyboard. For example, Program + F10

temporarily disables any macros stored in the keyboard’s memory. The

combinations Progrm + Ctrl + F11 and Progrm + Ctrl + F12 are using to

program macros or remap the keys. Programming is covered in “C

HAPTER FIVE:

USTOMIZING YOUR KEYBOARD.”

Embedded function key actions

Several special functions (Windows key actions) are “parked” in the embedded

layer of the right function keys. “Left Windows” and “Right Windows” keys

generally perform the same action as clicking the Start menu with the mouse. The

“Application” key offers a context-sensitive menu, similar to clicking the right

mouse button.

Accessing the embedded level

Embedded key actions are accessible either by tapping the Keypad key or by

holding down the appropriate pedal of an optional foot switch. The special

programming actions (Disable Macro, Macro, and Remap) will still operate in the

embedded layer if the Progrm is held down first.

To use a Windows key action, you must first press the Keypad function key (far

right) to activate the embedded layer. To remap an embedded key action (if you

have a programmable Contoured keyboard model) to a convenient top level

location, see C
