Record & Playback Keystrokes Facility
The record/playback keystrokes facility enables you to eliminate repetitive operations by using the Fn
keys to store, retrieve and display data. The Fn keys can store a total of 1500 keystrokes. A sequence
of recorded keystrokes may be interrupted so that keystrokes can be entered manually before
continuing with the recording or playback. Note that local Fn key functions cannot be recorded.
The keys used to initiate recording and playback are shown below together with the equivalent virtual
key names that can be used to assign the functions to any key on the keyboard:
101/102 Key Keyboard Virtual Key Names
Record: Alt + F4 AS_RECORD
Pause: Shift + Pause AS_PAUSE
Quit: Alt + LControl AS_QUIT
Play: Alt + F5 AS_PLAY
NOTE: Quit is Alt + Left Control if Left Control is defined as the Reset key.
Recording Keystrokes
The following procedure describes how to record keystrokes.
1. Press Record to enter Record mode.
The status line will display RECRD and a number from 0-1500 indicating the number of new
keystrokes that may be stored. A series of boxes displayed to the right represent the Fn keys. A
solid box indicates that the Fn key in that position is currently storing recorded keystrokes.
2. Press the Fn key that will store the keystrokes. (On 101/102 keyboards you can also use Shift +
Fn.)
The status line will display R**** F* where R indicates you are in Record mode, **** is the
number of keystrokes that may be stored, and F* is the number of the Fn key pressed.
NOTE: If you press a pre-recorded Fn key, its contents will be replaced with the following
keystrokes. You can also remove the contents of the Fn key before recording by pressing the
Delete key.
