| Mode |
Auto-repeat - If you keep the button pressed, the key repeats (just like on a keyboard when a key is held down).
Standard - A single key event is sent on a button press; the key does not auto-repeat if the button is held down. Reliable - Like “standard” mode, but the dongle confirms the reception of the button press; the button repeats the transmission until the dongle acknowledges it. Macro - A sequence of key codes. See Macro syntax for details. Toggle key - Two key codes are defined for the button. At every button press, these key codes are sent alternatingly: on the first button press “key #1” is sent, on the second press “key #2” is sent, on the third press “key #1” is sent again, and so forth. Tap or Hold - Two key codes are defined for the button. If the button is briefly pressed and then released (“Tap”), the first key code is sent. If the button is pressed and held, the second key code is sent. |

From the drop-down list, you can select a key, which may be a letter,
a digit, or a special key. At the tail of the list, there are
additional “input” commands or functions, that are not
necessarily keyboard-related. For example, mouse button clicks can
also be emulated.

|
| Modifier keys |
By putting a checkmark in any of these options, you specify that the
transmitted key is sent with the selected “shift” options.
For example, when F4 is selected as the key and the
Alt option is checked, the USB Button transmits
Alt + F4 on a press.
The GUI key is also known as the “Windows” key. For example, GUI + R opens the Run dialog box (on Microsoft Windows). |
