Important annotations - The StdKey layer functionality
For a better understanding - as this layer is something special:
• The layer StdKey generates a key assignment which behaves identically to a standard key on a MF2 style
keyboard.
• This means when an assignment is entered here, it completely maps this key functionality from a standard
"MF2" style keyboard to a key position on the PrehKeyTec devices.
• A key press on a standard keyboard normally sends the so-called Make Code to the computer and when
releasing the key it sends the Break Code.
This results in the following consequences:
• For getting the normal function of status switching keys (Shift, Alt, Ctrl, etc.) these must be programmed on
the StdKey layer to work "normally".
• On the other side: Key combinations and strings are not allowed on StdKey layer. Just to mention, of course
you also cannot find such keys on a "standard MF2 keyboard".
• Not to get confused, which assignment will be sent, additional programming shall not be placed on any other
layer of this key position.
• Especially when using multilayer macros like {KEY-UP} all other layers must be left blank. For placing such
functions on different layers, use the alternative macros like {Up} instead.
Example for manually programming key position A02 using StdKey layer:
When placing the following on the StdKey
layer's key assignment:
a
This will result in the following:
•
a when being pressed during "normal" state
•
A when being pressed during "shift" state
• And of course also all the other key
combinations which are accessible on a
"standard" keyboard.
Further layers do not need to be programmed to
cause this key to work exactly the same way as
on every standard keyboard.
