If you have the need to create a new or modified layer, just follow these steps below. In this example we create a
layer which is active as long as both AND are pressed.

Select menu

, and then you will get a dialog like this:


1. First select the tab New Layer and

enter a name for the new layer


2. Configure the Modifiers / More

Modifiers to program when this new
layer should be active


3.

Select when the programmed
sequences should be output (usually:
key press only)


4. Adjust the layer default attributes, for

example Key Click


5. After OK you will be asked if the

settings should be stored for future

Now you can place key assignments on
this new layer like on the pre-defined
layers Normal, Shift, etc.

Notes on the dialog Configuration

Layer Definition:

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

MUST NOT be active / pressed

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.

Menu

File

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.
