Key Binding

Key Binding is a set of instructions that can be assigned to a single key to perform a task. There are dedicated keys on the keyboard or the devices that you connect to the computer for assigning Macros. These keys are highlighted when you select the device in the Key Binding tab. You can Create, Edit, Switch, Assign, and Record a macro using Alienware Command Center. The key binding categories include:

• KEYSTROKE—Assign a particular keystroke to another key on the Alienware keyboard. For example, if you assign the keystroke for the letter X to the Q key on the keyboard, X gets typed when you press the Q key.
• MACRO—Create complex macros, record actions, and assign the keystroke combinations to a macro. Click REC and STOP to start and stop recording the macro, respectively.
• SHORTCUT—Enter a shortcut to a program, folder, or website. Click SAVE to save the shortcut created.
• TEXT BLOCK—Enter preassigned text when a key is pressed.
