I'm working with a Soarer's PS/2 to USB converter. I have a need to recognize a special key combination: a Function key & a letter. F9 + C, for example.
I've looked through the docs and it seems that this capability simply isn't there. I see key combinations with one key being a modifier, but not two "regular" keys. I was hoping someone here could prove me wrong.

Can you use F9 as a function layer, so that F9 + C will register whatever you'd like? In the example below, I set F9 as a function key for function level 1. By holding down F9 + C, the calculator app will open. I don't know if Soarer's will allow macros that don't include a modifier. Someone else more experienced can respond.

What a marvelous idea. I'll give that a try. At least now I have something to try - I was stumped. Many thanks.

Yep. More testing required but that does seem to do exactly what I need. Thanks, again, ShawnMeg!

It all seems to be working great. Thanks again, ShawnMeg, for helping me turn this into the coolest keyboard on the planet!
