Since DXLog is a keyboard centric logger and has been designed to minimize the use of the mouse in a live<br>
 +
contesting situation, it makes makes use of a range of Ctrl, Alt, and Shift-modified key combinations.
 +
 
 +
Many computer and computer peripheral manufacturers reserve some such keys for special operations<br>
 +
and do not allow redefining them to make sure they are always available, also in "emergency" situations.<br>
 +
One such example is Ctrl-Alt-F8 which on many HP computers with Intel graphics cards resets the display driver.
 +
 
 +
You can '''always''' work around such limitations by using <code>Tools|Redefine keyboard keys</code>, mapping an<br>inaccessible key to one that you can actually press.

Keyboard functions

A note on shortcut keys

Since DXLog is a keyboard centric logger and has been designed to minimize the use of the mouse in a live
contesting situation, it makes makes use of a range of Ctrl, Alt, and Shift-modified key combinations.

Many computer and computer peripheral manufacturers reserve some such keys for special operations
and do not allow redefining them to make sure they are always available, also in "emergency" situations.
One such example is Ctrl-Alt-F8 which on many HP computers with Intel graphics cards resets the display driver.

You can always work around such limitations by using Tools|Redefine keyboard keys, mapping an
inaccessible key to one that you can actually press.

[Spacebar] Move the cursor between entry fields, skipping RST fields
[Left arrow] or [Ctrl][B] Move cursor one character position to the left

[End] or [Ctrl][E] Moves the cursor to the end of the field
[Backspace] Move cursor one step left, deleting a character
