5.1.3 Configuring the M key and Menu Select as HK7, HK8
The M key (Machine) and Menu Select key can be optionally configured as hotkeys.
This means that these keys lose their original meaning or function. The new
functionality is defined using the Keys.ini configuration file If there is a key
definition in the configuration file for the key, but no response was saved, then the
key does not have a function.
Hotkey assignment:
MF II keyboard Hotkey
M key (Machine) SHIFT+F10 HK7
Menu Select (area
switchover)
F10 HK8
If there is no entry in the Keys.ini configuration file for hotkey 7 or hotkey 8, the key
will not be mapped as a hotkey but will retain its original function (compatible
mode). A key definition without a response will be assigned the <empty> attribute.
