Programming of key error message

Programming of a key error message is an option which only applies to the TopKey versions with 60 and 98 keys. A programmed key error message is transferred from the 60/98-key TopKey to the PC if two keys are depressed simultaneously on this keyboard.

 

A key error message is programmed as follows:

Click on the dialog window "Operation type" and then on the  box "Key error" to deactivate the button "Definition".

 

Click on button "Definition" to open dialog window "Assistant".


Entry

Select the level for which the key error message is to be programmed by clicking on the appropriate tab margin. The standard setting is always the "Standard level".

 

Position the cursor on the entry line by clicking on the mouse key.

 

Enter the characters which are to be linked to the key error message. The characters are accepted 1:1 in the message.

 

Enter function keys and key combinations, if applicable (s. " – Entry examples" in the help text of dialog "Characteristics"). Use the appropriate button in window section "Linkage" to enter the brackets. (Button "]" automatically includes the required leading blank).

 

Enter the function key descriptors in the square brackets with the help of the selection list in window section "Code words" by double clicking on the term required.  (More details on the function descriptors can be found in the TopKey documentation).

 

Enter key combinations and cascaded frame keys by clicking on button "+". Use the function key descriptors shown in the selection list in window section "Code words".

 

Enter individual characters after the link "+" via the keyboard by setting the cursor behind the "+" in the entry line (see " – Entry examples" in the help texts of dialog "Characteristics").

 

Enter special character  * [  :  twice if it is to be evaluated as a normal text character  (see " Entry examples" in the help texts of dialog "Characteristics").

 

Please note the colour codes of the syntax supervision during entry.

 

Follow the same procedure if the key error messages are to be programmed on another level.

Click on button "OK" to confirm the programming of the key error messages or click on "Abort" if no key error messages are to be programmed.

Return to dialog window "Operation types" in both cases..

Make any further settings necessary and click on button "OK" to confirm all settings.

 

Click on "Abort" to reject all settings (including the settings in the lower dialog "Assistant" which is confirmed with "OK").

Save

Please remember that you should save your keyboard layout regularly to ensure that you can refer to the original version should errors be made during by mistake during processing.
