You can find more information about HK7 and HK8 in the chapter "Configuring <M> key and
<MENU SELECT> as HK7, HK8".
Note
Hotkeys 1 and 7 (<M> key) cannot be distinguished by the hardware on the OP 10S
("Position" labeling). Hot key 7 is always triggered when one of the keys is pressed. If HK1 is
configured, this event can only be triggered by an external (MF2) keyboard.

4.1.2 Functions of the keys on delivery
Delivery condition
On delivery of the system, the assignment of hotkeys to functions is entered in the KEYS.INI
file.
With HMI Advanced, the file can exist in various directories:
● user
● oem
● add_on *)
● mmc0w32 *)
● mmc2 *)
● hmi_adv *)
*) These directories are reserved for Siemens.
The files are executed in the above sequence. Entries in the directory, which appears at the
beginning of the sequence will disable existing entries in directories, which appear later in
the sequence.
