13.18.7 Hotkeys Confguration Editor
In addition to the standard keyboard usage this part of the Visualization Editor allows
to configure special hotkeys for operating a visualization by keyboard in online mode.
That is, an action can be assigned to a certain key or key combination. This
configuration is valid exactly for the current visualization. Key configurations which
should be valid within all visualizations of an application, should be done in the
visualization manager.
Regard in this context also the "Hotkey" property of a particular visualization element,
which might be configured additionally, in the element Properties (Input). Such an
element-specific key definition will also be represented in the Hotkeys Configuration
Editor. It can be edited in both places whereby any modification always will get
updated also in the other editor.
The Hotkey Configuration Editor - to be opened via the Hotkeys Configuration
command - is available as a separate tab besides the Interface Editor and other editors
in the upper part of the visualization editor.

modifier keys can get assigned to an action. See the following columns:
Key: Name of the key. The key name can be entered manually or chosen from the
selection list available on a double-clidk on the field. The list provides all keys defined
by the device description, resp. in case of a visualization not directly assigned to a
device all keys which are supported by each device.
Key down: If this option is activated, the Action will be executed, when the Key gets
pressed. Otherwise the Action will be executed when the Key gets released. If the
Action should be executed on Key down and Key up inputs, two appropriate
definitions for the Key must be available in the table.

pressed together with the Key in order to get executed the Action.

type and corresponds to the mouse action configurable in the input configuration
dialog of a visualization element.
