Important annotations - The StdKey layer functionality

For a better understanding - as this layer is something special:

• The layer StdKey generates a key assignment which behaves identically to a standard key on a MF2 style

keyboard.

• This means when an assignment is entered here, it completely maps this key functionality from a standard

"MF2" style keyboard to a key position on the PrehKeyTec devices.

• A key press on a standard keyboard normally sends the so-called Make Code to the computer and when

releasing the key it sends the Break Code.

This results in the following consequences:

• For getting the normal function of status switching keys (Shift, Alt, Ctrl, etc.) these must be programmed on

the StdKey layer to work "normally".

• On the other side: Key combinations and strings are not allowed on StdKey layer. Just to mention, of course

you also cannot find such keys on a "standard MF2 keyboard".

• Not to get confused, which assignment will be sent, additional programming shall not be placed on any other

layer of this key position.

• Especially when using multilayer macros like {KEY-UP} all other layers must be left blank. For placing such

functions on different layers, use the alternative macros like {Up} instead.

Example for manually programming key position A02 using StdKey layer:

When placing the following on the StdKey

layer's key assignment: a

This will result in the following:

• a when being pressed during "normal" state

• A when being pressed during "shift" state

• And of course also all the other key

combinations which are accessible on a

"standard" keyboard.

Further layers do not need to be programmed to

cause this key to work exactly the same way as

on every standard keyboard.
