Modifying Key Names
To modify key names, double-click on the key name or select Rename on the Edit menu. Type in the new name and
press ENTER or TAB.
Note: You cannot modify the description if the key is locked, see Key Types (page 4-9). Only text that appears in blue
can be modified.
Modifying Key Values
You can modify a key value only if its text appears in blue. In that case, double-click on the value or select the key and
press ENTER. Type in the new value and press ENTER or TAB to save.
Modifying Key Descriptions
Descriptions are not required to process key values but do help document the EXM file and often contain valuable
information. To modify a key’s description, click on the key, then click in the key description area. When the cursor is
active, you can type in the text.
Note: You cannot modify the description if the key is locked; see Key Types (page 4-9).
Moving Keys
To move keys within an EXM file, use the drag and drop method. Press and hold the CTRL key to drag and drop a copy
of the key to the new location.
Note: You cannot move a key if it is locked by its section.
Paste as Child
Pastes the key just cut or copied in the selected section. Keys are not multi-level; all keys
paste at the same level within a section.
You can cut, copy and paste keys within an EXM file or across EXM files.
Delete
Deletes a selected key.
Note: You cannot undo a delete; you might want to consider disabling rather than deleting.
Enable
Enables keys that were disabled. When a key is enabled, the client application can read
and apply its value. When you enable a key, make sure to specify a value for that key; do
not leave it blank.
To enable a key, its parent section must be enabled.
Disable
Disables keys.
Disabled keys have key values in black. Enabled keys have key values in blue.
The terminal does not read disabled keys and disabled keys are removed if the file is
simplified. See Simplify Document on page 4-3.
Because many key values are 1 for enable and 0 for disable, remember that disabling a key
means that the terminal behaves as if the key is not there when reading the file, NOT that
the key’s value is set to disabled. The terminal simply moves on to read the next enabled
key.
Insert Key
This menu item inserts a new key above the selected key.
Note: You can also press the Insert key (INS) on your keyboard.
