Mappable Diamond Keys
The Diamond keys can be programmed to perform specific functions.
For example, using this Settings applet, you could set the Diamond 1 key to function as an ESC
key enabling you to use one keypress instead of two when you wanted to use the ESC function.
Setting the Diamond 1 key to function as an ESC key does not disable the function of the
“standard” ESC key sequence (Blue+Alt).

The Diamond 1 key always defaults to Field Exit on all keypads. The Diamond 1 key defaults to
Field Exit on both keypads. All other Diamond keys and Diamond Sticky keys have no assigned
default value (i.e. their default value is <no key>).
To edit the diamond key parameters, Tap
| Settings | Control Panel | Mappable Keys tab.
Change the parameter values using the drop down list and tap OK to save the changes. The
change takes effect immediately.
