Keyboard Shortcuts
Main Menu | Settings | Keyboard Shortcuts
You can now assign command shortcuts to keys on your data collector. This has been added to support our new keyboard layout on the newer Trackers but it also works with any device that has a keyboard.
The defaults for the shortcut keys are based on the MicroSurvey Tracker custom keyboard layout, but you can assign any key you want to the list of available commands. The shortcut definitions are stored in the MSurvey.ini file so they're portable to your other data collectors if you've defined a custom layout.
Another great feature is that the EDM mode for the current instrument you have selected can have shortcut keys assigned to them. For example if you refer to the list above, you would press the 1 key to set your EDM mode on the instrument to IR Standard.
The shortcut keys will only function from the map screen.
Set Shortcut Key
Use this to assign a command to a key on your keyboard. Highlight the command you want to modify, press the Set Shortcut Key button, then press the button on your keyboard to map the command to it. Your new key map will automatically be saved to the MSurvey.ini file.
Disable Shortcut Key
Use this to disable individual shortcuts.
Set User Button
Use this to set the currently selected command to the User Button found on the main interface. The command currently set with the user button is indicated in the Function list with the same icon.
Reset All
This resets all the shortcuts to the factory defaults and all customized settings will be lost.
Disable All Shortcuts
This is a toggle that controls if the shortcut keys are disabled or enabled.
