Administrator Hotkey
Specify the key sequence that triggers AppLock to switch between administrator and user modes
and the password required to enter Administrator mode. The default hotkey sequence must be
created by the AppLock administrator.
A multi-key keypress is an invalid keypress for a hotkey sequence. Only face keys can be used as
the normal key in the hotkey or switch key sequence. Therefore, keys accessed via a modifier key,
Green, Orange, Blue or any other modified key may not function properly as the hotkey.
Move the cursor to the Hot Key text box. Enter the new hot key sequence by first pressing the
Shift state key followed by a normal key. The hotkey selected must be a key sequence that the
application being locked does not use. The hotkey sequence is intercepted by AppLock and is not
passed to the application. See Also: Creating Hotkey and Switch Key Sequences.
Input from the keyboard or Input Panel is accepted with the restriction that the normal key must
be pressed from the keyboard when switching modes. The hotkey sequence is displayed in the Hot
key text box with Shift and Ctrl text strings representing the shift state keys. The normal (face)
keyboard key completes the hotkey sequence. The hotkey must be entered via the keypad. Some
hotkeys cannot be entered via the Input Panel. Also, hotkeys entered via the Input Panel are not
guaranteed to work properly when switching operational modes.
For example, if the ‘Ctrl’ key is pressed followed by ‘A’, “Ctrl+A” is entered in the text box. If
another key is pressed after a normal key press, the hotkey sequence is cleared and a new hotkey
sequence is started.
A normal key is required for the hotkey sequence and is unlike pressing the normal key during a
mode switch; this key can be entered from the Input Panel keyboard when configuring the key.
However, when the hotkey is pressed to switch modes, the normal key must be entered from the
keypad; it cannot be entered from the Input Panel keyboard.
Note: The AppLock default Administrator Hotkey must be modified during initial setup of a
new device.
