3.6.1 Modifier Keys
The <CTRL>, <ALT>, <ALPHA/ORANGE> and <FN/BLUE> keys are modifier
keys. Pressing a modifier key changes the function of the next key pressed. For
example, alpha keys are displayed in orange print above the numeric key <1>.
Pressing the <ALPHA/ORANGE> key followed by the <1> key displays the letter
a rather than the number 1.
The <CTRL> and <ALT> keys operate much like a desktop keyboard except that
they are not chorded—two keys cannot be held down simultaneously. The modifier
key must be pressed first followed by the key whose function you want modified.

taskbar, and the soft keyboard icon is once again displayed.

Locking Modifier Keys
Note: The locking behaviour of the modifier keys can be changed so that, for
example, pressing any of these keys once will lock the keys ‘on’. Refer to
“One Shots” on page 82 for details. Note too that by default, the
<ORANGE> key is locked ‘on’ when pressed only once.
