Psion Teklogix Omnii Hand-Held Computer User Manual 103
The options in this tab allow you to determine how modifier keys on your Omnii behave.
For each modifier key—[ALT], [SHIFT], [CTRL], [FN], and [SYM]—you have the follow-
ing options in the drop-down menu: Lock, OneShot, and OneShot/Lock.
Lock
If you choose Lock from the drop-down menu, pressing a modifier key once locks it ‘on’
until you press the modifier key a second time to unlock or turn it off.
OneShot
If you choose OneShot, the modifier key remains active only until the next key is pressed.
OneShot/Lock
OneShot/Lock allows you to combine these functions. When you choose this option and you
press the modifier key once, it remains active only until the next key is pressed.
If you press the modifier key twice, it is locked ‘on’, remaining active until the modifier key
is pressed a third time to turn it ‘off’.
Note: Keep in mind that checking the taskbar lets you know whether or not these keys are
locked on. For example, if the [FN] key is locked ‘on’, the taskbar at the bottom of
the screen displays it underlined. If this key is displayed without the underline in the
taskbar, you’ll know that the key is not locked. It will become inactive following a
key press.
Important: Once you’ve assigned a One Shot mode to a modifier key, you need to tap
on the OK button at the top of the tab to activate your selection.
