To keep the operation of our systems as simple as possible, we provide various key sets to execute frequently recurring commands within a very short amount of time.<\/p>\n<p>Mastering and using them lets you work much faster. This blog post gives you an overview of the different sets and their fields of application.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Key sets \u2013 benefits and function<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Key sets are key combinations you can define. To carry out various functions, simply press a defined key set on your keyboard without opening the on-screen display or the web application. You can also make key sets available to users who don\u2019t have access to the on-screen display. However, to keep the system secure, only users assigned with superuser rights can create and edit global key sets.<\/p>\n<p>To execute functions faster, we offer you the following key sets:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Select keys for fast switching between different computer modules<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>By entering a key combination on the keyboard of the console module, Select keys let you switch much faster between different computer modules compared to using the on-screen display.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Script keys for easy execution of a stored script<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Scenario switching lets you store the switching condition of one or multiple workplaces, or even of the entire system. The switching states are stored in a script.<\/p>\n<p>After setting up and activating a script key set in a user account, simply press the corresponding key combination on the workstation keyboard to execute a script stored in the matrix system.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>TradeSwitch keys for switching the keyboard\/mouse focus\u00a0 <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.gdsys.de\/en\/files\/2020\/09\/csm_TradeSwitch-Funktion_EN_a2fe00b3da.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-2971\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.gdsys.de\/en\/files\/2020\/09\/csm_TradeSwitch-Funktion_EN_a2fe00b3da-207x300.jpg\" alt=\"TradeSwitch keys to quickly switch between computers\" width=\"207\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.gdsys.de\/en\/files\/2020\/09\/csm_TradeSwitch-Funktion_EN_a2fe00b3da-207x300.jpg 207w, https:\/\/blog.gdsys.de\/en\/files\/2020\/09\/csm_TradeSwitch-Funktion_EN_a2fe00b3da.jpg 311w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 207px) 100vw, 207px\" \/><\/a>The <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.gdsys.de\/en\/2015\/04\/28\/the-tradeswitch-function-easy-switching-via-hotkeys\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">TradeSwitch function<\/a> lets you combine multiple console modules to one logical console (workplace). You can operate this console with one keyboard and one mouse even working with multiple monitors (multi-monitor console). A monitor is connected to each console module. Keyboard and mouse are connected to one of the console modules, the main console.<\/p>\n<p>There are also several options for the TradeSwitch function to switch the two input devices to the different monitors and thus the different computers. In addition to switching via on-screen display or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gdsys.de\/en\/kvm-solutions\/further-information\/crossdisplay-switching\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CrossDisplay-Switching<\/a>, you can also define and activate TradeSwitch keys to quickly switch between different computers.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Push-Get keys for moving computer and screen contents<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.gdsys.de\/en\/files\/2020\/09\/GD_PushGet_V0-20_2017_EN.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2959 size-medium alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.gdsys.de\/en\/files\/2020\/09\/GD_PushGet_V0-20_2017_EN-300x266.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.gdsys.de\/en\/files\/2020\/09\/GD_PushGet_V0-20_2017_EN-300x266.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.gdsys.de\/en\/files\/2020\/09\/GD_PushGet_V0-20_2017_EN.jpg 661w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>With the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gdsys.de\/en\/kvm-solutions\/digital-kvm-matrix-systems\/expansions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Push-Get function<\/a>, you can move the screen contents of a computer connected to a KVM matrix system to &#8211; or get it from &#8211; the display of another console. This display can be a large screen projection, for example. Using this function, all consoles can exchange computer and screen contents or work together on tasks.<\/p>\n<p>To execute this function, you can also configure key sets and activate them in the user account. Now you can move and get the screen contents of a console simply by pressing a key combination.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>ActiveKey Keyboard for simplifying tasks via programmable keyboard<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>With the help of the key sets mentioned in this post, operating your KVM system has never been easier and faster.
