31.1 QWERTY Keyboard Shortcuts

Many functions of Hog 4 OS's can be executed using a standard QWERTY keyboard. To enable keyboard shorcuts press the Pause/Break key or Control + Q on the keyboard until MAP is shown as the keyboard mode on the Command Line Toolbar; see Figure 31.1, “Keyboard Status in the Command Line Toolbar”. Hog 4 OS disables the keyboard shortcuts (MAP mode) when text entry is expected ( for example, after pressing Set or double clicking in a cell). When a text entry session is completed, MAP mode is automatically re-enabled if it was previously enabled.

When keyboard shortcuts are disabled, only the shortcut mapped to the Set key remains functional to allow quick labeling from the external keyboard.
