I have discovered how to program *all* the extra keys, such as the Internet and/or Multimedia keys, and also all of the special Logitech "F1" to "F12" keys (when F Lock is off). By editing Logitech's section of the registry, you can make every extra key run PowerPro commands and scripts.
The particular model I have is the "Logitech Access Keyboard". I am sure the same process can also be applied to other Logitech keyboards, such as cordless infra red, because they all use the same iTouch software and the same registry settings. My method takes a while to set up. It is a tedious job which takes about one hour, but once it's done, it's done. You will never have to edit the registry or use iTouchcf again to change what an Extra key does - just edit your PowerPro hotkey (or [EMAIL PROTECTED]) which you have set that key to trigger. Explanation: Like PowerPro has the gui pproconf.exe to customise your pproconf.pcf, and then powerpro.exe executes it... similarly Logitech's iTouch keyboards have the gui program iTouchcf.exe to customise Logitech's section of the registry, and then the Logitech keyboard driver executes that information. The iTouchcf program and the executing driver have different ideas about what is possible. I discovered that the driver can execute any of the Logitech functions for any of the keys, if suitable info is in the registry. It is only iTouchcf.exe which limits the options which it offers to you. For example, when using iTouchcf, the MyHome key can be customised but the Media Select key and the User/Sleep key do not appear in the gui customising program. So naturally one assumes they cannot be customised but the Media Select and User/Sleep keys do have a section in the registry, which is read by the driver. Another important limitation of iTouchcf is that it lets you configure a key to send a typable keystroke, but not a virtual key code. You can get round that limitation too, by editing the registry. By sending previously unused codes, you can have unique hotkeys which will never clash with hotkeys or keyboard shortcuts used by the system or applications or PowerPro.
