T42 Keyboard question

#1 Post by DaveRW » Sat Nov 12, 2005 12:34 am

Some of the keys on the keyboard have three symbols on them, for example one key has ; and : and -, how do you get to all three?

I know how to get ; and :, but I don't know how to get the -, I am using another key to make it.

Minor problem because I have never had to use them but I would like to know.

Simple;

All you have to di is enable Num-Lock by pressing Shift+ScrLck on your Keyboard, then type it out.

I also have a KB question. I have a US keyboard, and I need to use the £ and € sign in the UK.
I remember seeing the option to allow me to assign the £ and € sign with a special key combo, but I can't remember how to find the option again, can anyone help?
Also, is there a way to 'fix' the contrast to my settings? I like the contrast to be at about 2-3 bar, but everytime I restart my machine, it revert back to the full setting...

Cheers

Use the IBM/ThinkVantage Keyboard Customizer Utility to get the symbols mapped to a key combo.

Double-click on the green Battery Icon in the right side of the Task Tray to choose your power settings, including LCD brightness levels. You can also create your own preferred settings here.
