In the above dialogue window, the most popular key codes (scan codes) are shown
in the “virtual keyboard” area, plus a few special codes which are listed in the
“Special Codes” area. Selecting a key from the “virtual keyboard” area or double
clicking an item in “Special Codes” area will add that key’s code to the “Mapping
Sequence” list. You may also type codes directly from a connected keyboard. Up
to 256 codes can be mapped to a single key position. You may also be able to see
more key codes by changing the language of the key layout from the ‘Key Code’
screen as shown below:
Any key codes (scan codes) that are not selectable in this screen can be mapped by
directly entering the hexadecimal code for that key into the box next to “0x” and
pressing “Insert”.
Example
If you press “Shift”, “H”, “E”, “Shift”, “L”, “L”, and “O” buttons in the “virtual
keyboard”, the “Mapping Sequence” list will be shown as in the above window.
After programming this key code sequence and sending the updated mapping to
the keyboard (covered in a later section), it will display “HEllo” if Caps Lock is off or
“heLLO” if Caps Lock is on.
