Keyboard Configuration

Keyboard Configuration

Workstation Connect supports configuration by the administrator of one or more keyboard name/layout name mappings when there is no physical keyboard connected to the cradle. The application automatically detects when a keyboard is connected and uses the mapped or default layout based on whether a mapping exists for the detected keyboard. This feature is helpful for use cases with multiple keyboard language layouts.
The following functions support managing keyboard mappings:
  1. Add/Replace - Add a new mapping for a named keyboard or replace any existing mapping for a named keyboard (will cause any keyboard with a matching name to subsequently use that layout)
  2. Remove - Remove an existing mapping for a named keyboard (will cause any keyboard with a matching name to subsequently use the default layout)
  3. Remove All - Remove all existing mappings for all keyboards (causes all keyboards to use default layouts subsequently.
