Import Keymap
Use this option to import a keymap file.
1. Tap Menu > Import Keymap.
2. Enter the file name to import. If no location is specified, the default is to look in the root of the drive. Other-
wise enter the path and file name.
3. Tap Import to import the keymap or Abort to cancel without importing.
4. If the import is not successful (i.e.: an incorrect file name or location was specified) an error message is dis-
played. Otherwise the keymap has been imported.
Export Keymap
Use this option to export a keymap file.
1. Tap Menu > Export Keymap.
2. Enter the file name to export. If no location is specified, the default is to export to the root of the drive. Other-
wise enter the path and file name.
3. Tap Export to import the keymap or Abort to cancel without exporting.
4. If there are unsaved changes in the keymap, a message is displayed:
• Tap OK to save the changes and export the keymap file.
• Tap cancel (X) to the keymap to a file without any unsaved changes included.
5. If the import is not successful (i.e.: an invalid file name or location was specified) an error message is dis-
played. Otherwise the keymap has been exported.
Restore Defaults
Tap Restore Defaults to apply the default values for all keys.
If more than one keyboard was remapped, this function only applies to the current keyboard in the remapping util-
ity. For example, if the integrated programmable keys on the Thor VM3 were remapped then a USB keyboard was
attached only they remapped keys on the USB keyboard would be reset to default values. Remove the USB key-
board and relaunch the remapper utility to restore defaults to the integrated programmable keys.
Remap a Key to Launch an Application
In order to use Keyboard Remapper to launch an application it is necessary to edit the Windows registry. Follow the
process below. In this example, Orange P1 (P8) is remapped to the command prompt.
1. Launch the registry editor. See
2. Locate the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys
3. There are entries for each of the currently defined key values. These values are C1 through C6, representing
VK_APP_LAUNCH1 through VK_APP_LAUNCH6. All six values may not be associated with a keypress and there-
fore not currently defined in the registry.
4. Add a key for the application launch VKEY you are adding. In this example, assuming C4 is not used, add a C4
subkey to the keys under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys.
