To assign Shift, Ctrl ar Alt to a mode,in the column for that mode, in the row where it says '''Click to add shift command (optional)''', which is the 3rd. row, click the little right-arrow in the top of the cell and select '''New key presses...'''. It will take you to the top row, of that column where you can rename the column from Mode x to whatever you want. Ignore it and click in the big cell below it (which is actually the 3rd. row.) Now tap the key that you want - Shift, Ctrl or Alt. Then click the green tick. Repeat for the other mode. | To assign Shift, Ctrl ar Alt to a mode,in the column for that mode, in the row where it says '''Click to add shift command (optional)''', which is the 3rd. row, click the little right-arrow in the top of the cell and select '''New key presses...'''.

In many ways, this is the preferred style of use, as it gives you so many more options, such as being able to do actions which require a repeatable button. | |||

Here you assign different keyboard short-cuts to buttons for each mode. Don't touch Mode 1, leave it to behave according to the yoke xml file. Read the documentation about how to program. Remember, the keyboard short-cut must exist in either the keyboard.zml or multikey.xml files. You can assign a string of keypresses. | Here you assign different keyboard short-cuts to buttons for each mode. Don't touch Mode 1, leave it to behave according to the yoke xml file.

* If you assign Shift to Mode 2, and the yoke switch is in Mode 2, then ''everything'' you do will be treated as if the shift key is pressed while you do it. This includes the mouse. To use a modded button, flick the switch to Mode 2 or Mode 3, do what you have to do, and then flick straight back to Mode 1. | |||
* The profile you have defined is not automatically assigned at boot-up. You have to go to the system area, right-click on the yoke-icon and select your profile. The icon will then have a green box around it to show that it has been assigned a profile. | |||
