The function keys (the F keys on the keyboard) allow users to save frequently used command sequences and to call them easily from the command line.
This function is configured in the Setup menu under . Use thedrop-down menu under Key to select one of the function keys F1 to F12 and, under Mapping, enter the command sequence just as you would on the command line. You can enter any of the commands/shortcuts possible on the LCOS command line.
Special features of the caret character
When using the caret character (^) in your commands, be aware that this is also used to map special control commands with ASCII values below 32:
- ^A stands for Ctrl-A (ASCII 1)
- ^Z stands for Ctrl-Z (ASCII 26)
- ^[ stands for Escape (ASCII 27)
- ^^ A double caret symbol stands for the caret symbol itself.
Note: If a caret symbol is entered in a dialog field or editor followed directly by another character, the operating system may possibly interpret this sequence as another special character. By entering caret + A, the Windows operating system outputs an Â. To enter the caret character itself, enter a space in front of the subsequent characters. The sequence ^A is thus formed from caret character + space + A.
