Desktop key mapping

Editing a key mapping entry
Double click the required line in the Key mapping window or press Enter to change the contents of an entry or enter a new one. A window, similar to the one shown here, will open. In this window you may enter the task name, the name of the mapping table and some options.

Active
The tick box Active, in the top left of the window, can be used to enable or disable the entry. This allows you to remove an empty temporarily without losing the settings. The entry will only be active when this box is ticked.

Running
An LED in the top right of the window shows you whether the application is currently running or not. If the LED is green, the application is running and you can expect an immediate change in behaviour when using that application.
  

Application
Enter the name of the required application here. Please note that task names are case-sensitive and may contain spaces, so make sure you don't make a mistake. Alternatively, you may select a name from the menu of currently active tasks. If you want the mapping to be global (i.e. for all applications), select the first entry from the menu: Global (all applications), or clear this field.

Table
Next, select a mapping table from the menu. A number of useful mapping tables are supplied with !HID, but you are free to add new and better tables yourself, should you wish to do so.

Comment
Although not very important, you may use this field to add a useful comment to the entry. By default, it will contain the first comment found in the mapping table file, but you may change this at will.

Respond to state of NumLock button
By selecting this option, the mapping table will be linked to the state of the NumLock key on the keyboard. When the NumLock LED is on, the mapping table will be active. To disable the mapping, all you need to do is turn NumLock off.

Controlled by RusKey application
!HID contains a helper-application, called !RusKey which can be used as an alternative to the NumLock key. By selecting this option, the mapping table will be controlled by the state of the R symbol in the iconbar. Please note that you need to have enabled the option 'Enable support for Russian input' in Choices -> Keyboard -> Key mapping, so that the helper program !RusKey is launched automatically.

Edit
Click the Edit button in the bottom left of the window, to open the folder containing the various mapping table files. You may edit any of these files, or add new ones, but you should do this only if you know what you are doing.
