Any key tool may be turned on or off independently. For example, you could have the date key turned on, but all of the other key tools turned off.
To set the keystroke for a particular key tool, open the Key Tools Control Panel, and select the Set button that is displayed next to the name of the function. For example, to set the keystroke for displaying the time, you would:
1. Open the Key Tools Control Panel
2. Select the Set button that is next to the time label
The set button will create a window. You may now type the keystroke for that window, and the window will disappear. The new keystroke will be displayed in the Key Tools Control Panel.
You may select any key to control any function and you may require that the option, command, or shift keys be pressed to call a function. For example, you may decide that the time function will be run when you type the letter “t” while holding down the option and command keys. Now, the time function will run any time you type these keys. In the Control Panel, Key Tools displays this key sequence as "option-command-t", which means you must hold down the command and option keys while at the same time typing the letter "t". You may only specify a single character key, however, so you cannot select both the letters “t” and “i” to control the time function.
