ORBIS KEYS FOR DIACRITICS AND SPECIAL CHARACTERS

These are the keys to which diacritics and special characters are mapped according to the WINDOWS ALA KEYBOARD MAP when MACROEXPRESS is turned on. The most frequently used diacritics are on the number pad and are entered at NORMAL or ALT.*  For alternate characters mapped to the keyboard, note that most sequences begin with either CTRL ALT or CTRL ALT SHIFT, corresponding to normal and shift on the keyboard map.If a key sequence was already claimed by a MACROEXPRESS system macro, the sequence will usually begin with WIN ALT.  Characters mapped to the number pad are also mapped to the key sequence used in RLIN for Windows.   In Voyager, the character appears only after you release the keys used in a key sequence. Frequently used diacritics may also be entered through a menu window (F12).

*You can also use the number pad without turning off MACROEXPRESS  by holding down the WIN key before pressing a number key on the keypad.
