Keyboard Options
The 2nd, ALT, CTRL and Shift keys (when present) are sticky keys. The Keyboard LEDs (page 3-13) identify the active sticky
modifier mode state of the keyboard.The Thor VM1 has an integrated keypad with five programmable keys and an available
external keyboard.
64-Key QWERTY Keyboard
The Thor VM1 has a QWERTY keyboard, available with a standard overlay, an IBM 3270 overlay or an IBM 5250 overlay.
• Because the keyboard only has 64 keys, all functions are not visible (or printed on the keyboard). Therefore the Thor
VM1 keyboard supports what is called hidden keys -- keys that are accessible but not visible on the keyboard.
• The keyboard does not have a NumLock indicator or key. NumLock is always On.
The Thor VM1 keyboard keys are backlit.
• By default, the keyboard backlight follows the display backlight. When the display backlight is on, the keyboard backlight
is on.
• If the display backlight brightness is increased (or decreased) the keyboard backlight brightness is increased (or
decreased).
• The keyboard backlight and the display share the same timer, which is configured in the Power Options (page 5-18)
control panel.
