Configuring hotkeys

The system supports 29 hotkeys. Pressing a hotkey executes the command or function assigned to the hotkey.

Table 4 shows the default definitions for the hotkeys. You can change or remove hotkey definitions.

A hotkey can correspond to only one command or function. If you assign multiple commands or functions to the same hotkey, the most recently assigned command or function takes effect.

A command or function can be assigned to multiple hotkeys. You can use any of the hotkeys to execute the command or function.

If a hotkey is also defined by the terminal software you are using to interact with the device, the terminal software definition takes effect.
