Keyboard File

When you specify a key, you can save the new keyboard layout in a file (.KMP). If you create two or more keyboard files, you can alternate between them as required.

To assign a function to a key on the keyboard:
  1. Click Preferences → Keyboard from the Edit menu or click the map icon on the tool bar.
  2. When the Keyboard Setup window appears, select Customize.
    Note: Select Spain from the Language menu during keyboard setup if you want Catalan support.
  3. Assign the key functions, referring to the online help for detailed instructions.
  4. Save your changes and exit the Customize Keyboard window.
  5. Click OK after completing the setup.
You can reset either the entire keyboard or specific keys to defaults:
  • To reset the entire keyboard, set the current keyboard to Default in the Keyboard Setup window.
  • To reset specific keys, select a key in the Customize Keyboard window and then select Default from the Current Actions for Selected Key box.
Note: You cannot redefine the following keys: Alt, AltGr, Print Screen, Scroll Lock, CapsLock, NumLock, and Shift.
