Keyboard shortcuts

For switching applications and locking the screen, keyboard shortcuts are already predefined and you are free to customize them. To define keyboard shortcuts freely, follow the syntax rules given.

Defining Keyboard shortcuts

1. Open Device configuration> Desktop > Keyboard shortcuts.

2. You may select keyboard shortcuts for the following actions:

   Option	Description	How to define
   Switch applications	Switch between open applications or sessions The default shortcut Alt+Ctrl↑ helps avoid conflicts with the shortcut Alt+Tab which is used to switch between the tasks within a Windows session.	Select an option from the list-field.
   Log off1 from Scout 15.8 and eLux RP 6.9	Log off currently logged-on user (AD users) The logon dialog is then displayed.	Specify the desired key combination as free-text, see below.
   Lock screen2 from Scout 15.8 and eLux RP 6.9	Activate password-protected screen saver (AD users) Default: <Ctrl><Alt>End	Specify the desired key combination as free-text, see below. Otherwise, the default key combination is active.

Furthermore, you can define a key combination for multi-monitor environments that allows users to quickly switch between clone mode and extended desktop.3 from Scout 15 2101 and eLux RP 6 2101 For further information, see Multiple monitors.

Rules for specifying key combinations

• Key combinations consist of a combination of one or more modifier keys and a single non-modifier key

• For the non-modifier key, you can choose from the following keys:
  Letter keys, number keys, function keys, Windows logo keys, Esc key, position and numpad keys as specified

• Key combinations must be specified in the following format:

  <modifier key><modifier key (optional)><modifier key (optional)>additional key

  No spaces or other characters may be placed between the keys.

• The spelling of the key names must follow the specification, see examples. To receive a complete list of allowed key names and their spelling, use the following command in an eLux shell:

  Modifier key names: xmodmap -pm
  Non-modifier key names: xmodmap -pk

Examples

Option	Description
<Ctrl><Alt>Escape
<Shift><Ctrl>l
<Mod4><Alt>F1	Mod4 corresponds to the Windows logo key
<Ctrl><Mod4><Alt>End
<Mod4>Super_R (= right Windows button if used as key)	Super_R corresponds to the Windows logo key on the right if used as a key
<Mod5>KP_End	Mod5 corresponds to Alt Gr KP_End corresponds to the End key of the numpad

If you define a key combination for eLux that is already defined within an application/session, this key combination will only work for eLux. Avoid using the same key combinations in different environments.

Behavior of the Caps Lock key

May be configured via user interface from Scout 15 2204, see Advanced mouse and keyboard settings.

In most environments, pressing the (Caps Lock) key in combination with letter keys results in the display of uppercase letters, while the number keys above the letter block output numbers despite the Caps Lock key. To display the special characters of the number keys, the Shift key must be pressed.

• To let users write special characters instead of numbers while pressing Caps Lock, for the relevant devices, configure the following Advanced file entry:4 from eLux RP 6 2107

Datei	/setup/terminal.ini
Abschnitt	Keyboard
Eintrag	ForceShiftLock
Wert	true	Default: false

For further information, see Advanced file entries.

The Caps Lock key then behaves like the Shift key.
