Keys & Key Codes
Key names are used byTCI for the toolbar commands. The format of a key name is:
[Prefix-]Keyname
The valid prefix and keyname combinations are shown in the table below. Names of keys must be spelled exactly as shown, except for case. Note that you cannot specify a punctuation key.
Prefix |
Valid for key names |
none |
A-Z, 0-9, F1-F12, Tab, Bksp, Enter, Up, Down, Left, Right, PgUp, PgDn, Home, End, Ins, Del, Esc |
Alt- |
A-Z, 0-9, F1-F12, Bksp |
Ctrl- |
A-Z, F1-F12, Tab, Bksp, Enter, Up, Down, Left, Right, PgUp, PgDn, Home, End, Ins, Del |
Shift- |
F1-F12, Tab |
The prefix and key name must be separated by a hyphen (-). For example:
Alt-F10 ctrl-bksp
Some keys are intercepted by Windows and are not passed on to TCI. For example, Alt-Tab, Alt-Esc and Ctrl-Esc typically pop up a tasklist, or are used in switching among multiple tasks. Alt-space pops up the TCI system menu.
The above comments are based on common US-style keyboards. Some key combinations might not be available on some keyboards.
