<h2>Using PC keyboard</h2>
<p>The RemoteControl Carbide.c++ Extension allows you to enter text and navigate in the <b>Screen Capture</b> mode using your PC keyboard. The PC keyboard is activated when you enter the <b>Screen Capture</b> mode.</p>
<p>Currently, the following PC keyboard key presses are recognized and sent further to the target device or emulator:</p>
<ul>
<li>Text characters: a-z, A-Z, öäå and ÖÄÅ.</li>
<li>Numeric characters: 0-9.</li>
</ul>
<p>Other characters are sent as pure text and are supported depending on the current keyboard layout.</p>
<h2>Customising PC keyboard shortcuts</h2>
<p>There are no default shortcut mappings for non-textual characters, so you need to configure any hardware key shortcuts manually via Carbide.c++ Preferences.</p>
<ol>
<li>In Remote Control Carbide.c++ Extension, click <img src="images/btn_RC_preferences.png"> and go to the <b>Screen Capture</b> tab.</li>
<li>At the bottom of the tab, click the <b>Keys</b> link. This opens the shortcut key preferences view.<br>
You can also get to this view by selecting <b>Window</b> > <b>Preferences</b> > <b>General</b> > <b>Keys</b>.</li>
<li>In the <b>Command</b> list, scroll down to the RemoteControl commands, and select a command you want set a shortcut to. You can set a shortcut to the following keys:
<ul>
<li>Up, down, left, and right navigation keys (North, South, West and East)</li>
<li>Selection (Center) key</li>
<li>Left software key</li>
<li>Right software key</li>
<li>Send key</li>
<li>End key</li>
<li>Application key</li>
<li>Clear key</li>
<li>Edit key</li>
<li>Grip open key</li>
<li>Grip closed key</li>
<li>Side (Voice) key</li>
<li>Power key</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>In <b>Binding</b>, press the shortcut combination you want to use for the selected command. <br>
For example, for the Selection key (<b>Center navi key</b>) emulation, you may want to use the Enter key; place the mouse cursor in the <b>Binding</b> field, and press Enter.</li>
<li>In <b>When</b>, select where you want to use the shortcut key combination. To restrict the shortcuts to the Screen Capture view of Remote Control, select <b>In ScreenView</b>.
