Can you program a key to act as if you were pressing Shift (or Alt, or Ctrl) - and keep it pressed, not just a keystroke?

Absolutely. When you program a macro, you tell it when to press and when to release a special key (Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Tab, etc.)

Hello MarceloYes you can. I have one as Ctrl and one key as Shift. I use them in combination with the mouse buttons to select and move/copy items in Windows. In this case, the key must have only one code assigned to it (Ctrl OR Shift OR Alt) otherwise you need to supply the key-up code as well.

The keyboard and mouse work pretty much like standard ones do, so no. However, you can easily use a free scripting program like AutoHotkey to do this for you by way of a keybind, it will then work regardless of your input method. EDIT It seems like the other answer may work as well, although I have never tried it myself.

not really only combo keys like press tu button at the same time, but not a full password

Yes, there are software programs such as 'keytweak' that allow you to re-map your keys. I frequently re-map home/end & page up/down so that home and end can be pressed without using the FN key

This is a 101-keys keyboard, so you're short of the Cmd key. You can map the Ctrl key to act as Cmd and choose not to have Ctrl key instead. You then can set some important shortcuts with Ctrl (e.g. Spotlight) to use Cmd instead.

Hi David, Yes it is possible since one can add macros (combination of keys) and functions to those programmable keys. You can look at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/237179 for further reference. Regards...

Yes. All of the buttons are programmable and can also be set to customize automatically based on the active program being used. Download the Mouse and Keyboard Center software here to make changes: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/downloads/mouse-keyboard-center

In the Microsoft mouse and keyboard center under "app-specific settings" I was personally able to create custom macros using any of the keys. You assign the keys to perform different commands in different programs. So as far as I know, yes, you will be able to set certain keys for copy/pase, etc. However, the links below should provide you with more solid answers. http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/help/windows-8/how-to/mouse/configuring-application-specific-settings http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/help/windows-8/how-to/mouse/configuring-application-specific-settings

Of course it can. You can treat Windows key as Command key. Volume control works. Calculator key does nothing.

Not that I can find on the keyboard. That would likely be a software option on whatever you are using it on.

Yes, I have mine setup with Cut/Copy/Paste and Shift as the bound commands.

The Powermate will let you program pretty much any key-press into its functions. You could certainly set it up such that either the "click" or the "click-and-hold" function presses the space bar.

Yes. Set a macro via your OS or utilize third party software WYSIWYGs. This is not a programmable item on it's own. Most any key can be configured for just about anything via the OS. To answer previous questions, the same goes for the mouse. For gaming purposes, use the in game configurations options.

It enters keystrokes as you are typing. it doesn't automatically add stuff unless you are using the keyboard.

There should be a disc inside that has the software to program it to whatever keys you want. Its a small disc and is easily missed inside the packaging.

Just toggle the 2nd key on the bottom left on the keyboard for onscreen keyboard off/on. Easy. ;)

It will work, the Windows and Alt key will act as the Command and Options key. Although, they will be reversed, this can be fixed with a program called Double Command.
