3.4  Keyboard hotkey control 

 
LINDY CPU Switch Junior can be conveniently controlled by selecting channel, autoscan mode or 
auto-scan mode from the keyboard. All of the hotkey control commands are invoked by holding 

down the two hotkeys and then pressing a command key. By default, the two hotkeys are 

t

 and 

s

, although other combinations can be selected. Once the hotkey command has been activated 

you will need to release the hotkeys and the command key before a new hotkey command is 

accepted by the LINDY CPU Switch Junior. H 

v

 is an exception and this allows you 

to 'tab through' the ports by holding down the hotkeys and repeatedly pressing 

v

. 

 
The hotkey commands are summarised below 
(note that the numbers on the numeric keypad do not form part of a valid hotkey) :
