Notes on the dialog Configuration

• The modifiers / more modifiers checkboxes have the following meaning:

MUST be active / pressed
IGNORE if this level is active or not
• To completely remove the user-defined layer, just open the Layer definitions dialog once again, mark and
delete the layer's name and press OK. Attention: All the assignments made on this layer also will be deleted!
• The
attributes
MakeBreak and No Restore usually should stay not marked.
• A detailed description can be found in the Online-Help index, topic Layer Definitions.
Storing the layer settings
Layer settings are stored inside the start configuration file preh.ini. This will help to use customized layer settings
for your different keyboard layouts.
After changing the layer settings you will be asked if the modifications also should be saved in the start
configuration. Select yes, if this should be saved for future use. Otherwise changes just will apply to actual
session and the current layout.

Default configuration
will reset the start configuration to the WinProgrammer’s default configuration.
To use this function you first have to close all opened layouts.
