How do I Combine Specific Computer Commands on a PC?
When using a modifier key such as <CTRL>, <ALT>, <OPTION>, <SHIFT> or <COMMAND>, typing the word "hold" in front of the key name causes the key to be held until one additional character is entered.
Typing the word "combine" in front of the key name lets you combine several modifier keys.
For example:
<esc>,hold,shift. causes the shift key to be held until an additional letter is entered.
<esc>,combine,command,shift. causes both the <command> and <shift> keys to be held until an additional letter is entered.
<esc>,combine,ctrl,alt.<esc>delete. Allows you to simulate the <control><alt><delete> command.
Use the following commands when you are doing keyboard emulation for IBM Keyboards and Keypads
Create the <esc> command that you see below by activating CTRL[ ( Control and left bracket ) in your Toolbox or spelling page. This sequence is shown as <esc> in all commands below. On your display you will see a small left arrow.
Remember: Punctuation is very important with all computer commands. You should insert a comma where requested and always end with a period. There must be no spaces in the string.
