Appendix A - Using Function Keys A
tomasfkeys.ini
The tomasfkeys.ini file, distributed with eZ-TOMAS software, makes it possible to use your keyboard’s
Function Keys (F1 through F12) in conjunction with eZ-TOMAS. Through the ini file, you can set the
Function Keys to open frequently used projects.
The task of each Function Key is determined by how it is defined in the tomasfkeys.ini file. The following
table includes several definitions. In every case the first 4 characters are Fnn=, where the letters “n”
identify the Function Key of interest, e.g., F01 represents the F1 key, F02 the F2 key, etc. Each function
setup must start with the Fnn= syntax.
Example of Function Key Application
