4. Notes on the Power Key-Option
Besides providing key shortcuts for the existing buttons that you can access using the “F2” button,
Columbus also provides a whole range of functions that to some extent are only available using the
keyboard. The various control options accessed using the keyboard are only available if the Power
Key Option is activated.
They are listed in the following table.
