How do I Hide/Show Core Vocabulary on my ECO?

Summary:

When you hide a key it is no longer visible on the overlay and that location will no longer work if pressed or scanned.

If you are just learning about Minspeak®, you might want to use only a few keys on your overlay. You can hide all the keys that you don't need. When you are ready to learn about more keys, you can turn the hidden keys back on ("show" them) and add them to your overlay.

When you hide a key, you are telling it to quit working. You can't even see it on the overlay anymore. If you activate the space where the key used to be, nothing will happen. In effect, you are turning the key off so that you can't use it.

To Hide a Core Vocabulary Key:

1 Go to the Toolbox overlay    and activate ASSIGN CORE KEYS.  

2. The Toolbox returns you to your overlay. Activate the key you want to hide.

3. Select the Hide/Show Keys option. 

4. You see your overlay. Now select the key or keys you want to hide. When you select a key it will turn gray. 

5. If you change your mind after you have selected a key, just select it again. It will return to its active state.

6. When you are finished, select the Text Bar on the top of your screen.  Exit the ASSIGN CORE KEYS menu by pressing OK and go to your overlay. Notice that the keys you have hidden are no longer visible on the overlay.
