Figure 2-2
Once a modifier key is unlocked or turned off, it is no longer displayed in the shift-state indicator icon.
NOTE
The locking function of the modifier keys can be changed so that pressing a
modifier key once will lock it 'on'.
If you disable the 'One Shot' function of the key, pressing it once will lock the
key 'on'. Pressing the same key a second time will unlock or turn it 'off'. Refer to
"OneShots" on page 4-39

Function Keys and Macro Keys

In addition to the standard keyboard functions, the Workabout Pro4 supports Function keys and Macro keys
(Macro keys are only available on Workabout Pro4 Long units).
All function keys and macro keys can be custom defined for each application. The Tekterm application utilizes
these keys (for detailed information, see the Tekterm Software User Manual, PN 8000073).

Function Keys

Function keys perform special, custom-defined functions within an application. These keys are accessed by
pressing one of the dedicated function keys on the keyboard, or through the appropriate [SHIFT] or [FN] key
sequence, depending on the keyboard variant being used.
All Workabout Pro4 keyboards are equipped with a total of 14 function keys. Function keys [F1] to [F4] located
near the top of the keyboard are directly accessible – a key combination is not required. Ten additional function
keys from [F1] to [F10] are colour coded in blue print on the unit body; these keys are accessed by executing a
key combination, [FN/BLUE] followed by the appropriate key.
For example, to access [F6] on a QWERTY keyboard:
• Press the [FN/BLUE] key followed by the [F] alpha key – the alpha key to which function key [F6]
is mapped.
