All keys areassumed to be released at the end of a line, however, you can also determinethat a key is pressed and released within a sequence. Any of the following threeexamples will send a command that emulates and a press and release of theScroll Lock key:+SCROLL-SCROLL+-SCROLL+SCROLL-Example:+-SCROLL+-SCROLL+1+ENTERPress and release scroll twice, press 1 then enter then release all keys (equivalentdefinition is +SCROLL-SCROLL+SCROLL-SCROLL+1+ENTER-1-ENTER)Using abbreviationsTo reduce the length of the key definitions, any unique abbreviation for akey can be used. For example: “scroll”, “scr” and even “sc” all provide anidentifiable match for “ScrollLock” whereas “en” could not be used because itmight mean “Enter” or “End” (“ent” would be suitable for “Enter”).Note: Hotkey sequences and abbreviations are not case sensitive.For information about where to enter these codes, please see the sections Hostconfiguration or Keyboard control.
