Usage Guidelines

After acquiring knowledge of defined, undefined, and reserved shortcut keys, you can use a shortcut key to run a command assigned to this shortcut key, and you can also run the hotkey command to assign a command to a shortcut key.

You can use a shortcut key as an alternative to a command. After you press a shortcut key, the system displays the complete command associated with the shortcut key. The shortcut key functions the same as the associated command.

Example

The actual command output varies according to the device. The command output here is only an example.
