Define Function or Assignment
This area contains eight buttons. They represent the eight different control key combinations that may be used with each key. Any action may be mapped to each of these eight control key combinations.
Normal – the key value without any control keys being held down.
Shift – the key value with the Shift key held down.
Ctrl – the key value with the Ctrl key held down.
Alt – the key value with the Alt key held down.
Alt-Gr – the key value with the Alt-Gr key held down (non-U.S. only)
Alt-Shift – the key value with Alt and Shift keys held down.
Alt-Ctrl – the key value with Alt and Ctrl keys held down.
Shift-Ctrl – the key value with Shift and Ctrl keys held down.
Note: For English (U.S.) the Alt-Gr is not available as a separate control key, and performs the same function as the Alt key.
