HOW TO CHANGE THE KEYBOARD KEYS
Using the F Function Keys (F1 to F10)
REDEFINING KEYS
Redefining keys means changing the content of the key
to represent something different from the function assigned
to that key: For example, you can change the F1 function key
(top row) to mean Copy, Format, or anything you like. The
name of the key will still be F1, but you have changed the
contents of F1 so that when you strike the F1 key it may Copy
a file, Format a disk, or something else.
Redefining keys is a good way of putting commands in
keys that you don't use and make them a super Speed-key that
uses only one keystroke. Most Macros use the F keys first, then
a combination then the Alt-F keys and Shift-F keys.
EVERY KEY ON THE KEYBOARD HAS A CODE NUMBER
By using the number (called a Scan Code) corresponding
to the key you can change the content (assignment) of that
key. The keyboard Scan Code for the F1 key is 0;59, F2 is 0;60,
F3 is 0;61 and so forth to F10 which is 0;68.
Table 1 is a list of redefinition code numbers (scan codes)
to be used in redefining the F keys and combinations of F keys.
