Mapping Key’s Functionality onto Another
Before you begin, open the ‘NID Keypad’ control panel applet (see the section
‘Control Panel’ on page 30). To illustrate a simple mapping case, in the first
example, the key ‘0’ is configured to act as ‘tab’ key.
To map key’s functionality onto
another one:
1. Select the ‘Mappings’ tab in the NID
Keypad applet, if the page is not in
view
2. Select ‘Key’ you want to map onto
another one, in the ‘Mappings’ area.
In this example, the key ‘0’ is
selected.
3. Select ‘VK’ (Virtual Key) code you
want the selected key to generate. In
this example, the ‘TAB’ virtual key
code is selected.
4. Tap on the ‘Apply’ button at the
bottom of the ‘Mapping’ page
5. Tap on the ‘OK’ button on the title bar; the key ‘0’ acts now as a ‘tab’ key
The next mapping case illustrates when TAB functionality is assigned to the
‘F11’ key:
To map key’s functionality onto
another one with modifier property:
1. Select the ‘Mappings’ tab in the NID
Keypad applet
2. Select ‘Key’ you want to map onto
another one, in the ‘Mappings’ area.
In this example, the key ‘0’ is
selected.
3. Select ‘Modifier’, in the ‘Mappings’
area. In this example, ‘Function’ is
selected
4. Select ‘VK’ (Virtual Key) code you
want the selected key to generate. In
this example, the ‘TAB’ virtual key
code is selected.
5. Tap the ‘Apply’ button at the bottom of the ‘Mapping’ page
6. Tap the ‘OK’ button on the title bar; the key ‘0’ as an F11 key acts now as
a ‘tab’ key.
