Creating Quick-Keys

You can create a Quick-Key to act as a shortcut for text and commands.

To create a Quick-Key:

  1. On the Options menu, click Quick-Keys. The Quick-Key Editor dialog box opens.
  2. In the Quick-Key Name box, type a name for the Quick-Key.
  3. In the Function Group list, select a function group.
  4. In the Function list box, select the individual function you want to apply to Quick-Key and click Append Function. The function is displayed in the Assigned Quick-Key String field.
  5. Repeat the previous step until you have appended all the desired functions.
  6. Click Set to implement the Quick-Key.
  7. Click Save to save the Quick-Key to a Quick-Key file.
    Note: 
      When creating Quick-Keys, be sure to include a timing delay. This delay allows the Auto Start Quick-Key to run when host data is received from a new session. To add a delay, click Pause on the Function menu, and then click Append Function.
