Accessories - Ext. Keyboard

An external keyboard will simulate most keys of the console. See the
Console Functions Table below.

This is simple to work with, since the keyboard works exactly like the console. For example
pressing R is the same as pressing RECORD, and pressing 1 is the same as pressing
Master key 1.

WARNING
Multi-media keyboards may have special keys, for example SLEEP -
which puts CONGO - to sleep. Avoid using these keyboards, they will
trigger functions that you most probably do NOT want.

Keyboard - Numerical Input on a Notebook

If you are running the offline editor in a notebook without a numerical keypad, you can
access numbers and basic channel and level functions using ALT.

CTRL & 1-9 = Numerical input
CTRL & F1 = CH
CTRL & F2 = CH+
CTRL & F2 = CH-
CTRL & F4 = THRU
CTRL & F5 = LEVEL
CTRL & F6 = ALL

Keyboard - Standard Functions

Standard keyboard functions available in all situations are:

ESC = Escape, closes open tabs and exits dialogs.
INSERT = Inserts data in all lists (in Mac computers use COMMAND & DELETE)
DELETE = Deletes data in all lists.
NUMBERS (in the numeric keypad) = Numeric entries.
HOME = Jumps to the first line of the list or editor.
END = Jumps to the last line of the list or editor.
ARROW KEYS = Arrow keys.

Console Keys in a Keyboard

These are the keyboard equivalents of the console keys. If you are using an offline editor
they allow you to access most of the functionality directly, as if you had a console.
