Programming Standard Keys using Drag&Drop
Drag&Drop is the easiest way to program so-called standard keys like "Shift", "Control" and all the other
alphanumeric keys. Simply copy such keys from a Default Layout template into your keyboard. This includes key
code programming and also the key label.
To quickly assign standard keys to your PrehKeyTec devices in an easy and safe way:
1. To show the template just enable
View
→
Default layout
.
2. This way you also can close the
template keytable.
The WinProgrammer automatically
opens the template using the same
language as selected for the currently
activated keytable.

1. Select the source key on the Default layout by a mouse click.
2. Hold down the left mouse button and move the key to the
target position into your own layout.
3. Finally adjust the key size using the right and lower key
frame, if necessary.
Notes:
Drag&Drop is indicated by a mouse cursor with a small
rectangle.
When holding down the Ctrl-Key during moving the key, you will
execute copying instead of moving. The mouse cursor then
contains an additional + symbol.
The procedure described above always copies/moves the entire
functionality of the key including the key assignment of all layers
and the key label.
In our example we use this method to copy
• Left Ctrl key
• Left Shift key
