Chapter 8: Key Maps
Remember : “Sticky” keys are also known as “second” function keys. Ctl/Ctrl, Alt, Shft, Blue and Orange keys are “sticky
keys”. Sticky keys do not need to be held down before pressing the next (or desired) key. It is valid to use combined modifiers
on specific keys.
The key mapping in this section relates to the physical keypad. See the Input Panel for the Virtual (or Soft) Keypad used with
the stylus.

l The following keypad key map is used on an MX7 that is NOT running a Honeywell Terminal Emulator. Terminal
emulators use a separate key map.
l When using a sequence of keys that includes a sticky key, press the sticky key first, release it, then press the rest of
the key sequence.
l When using a sequence of keys that includes the Orange or Blue keys, press the color key first then the rest of the key
sequence.
l Tapping the Power key when in any sticky mode (Blue, Orange, Shift, etc.) either turns the device On (when Off) or
places it in Suspend (when On).
l Alphabetic keys default to lower case letters. Press the Shft key, then the alphabetic key for an uppercase letter.
l When the computer boots, the default condition of Caps (or CapsLock) is Off. The Caps (or CapsLock) condition can be
toggled with Blue plus Tab key sequence.
l For those keymaps that require remapping (MAP), keys can be remapped using the Keypad Control Panel (Start >
Settings > Control Panel > Keypad).
