ChessBase 17 - Mega package - Edition 2024
It is the program of choice for anyone who loves the game and wants to know more about it. Start your personal success story with ChessBase and enjoy the game even more.
Pocket Fritz 4 allows the customer to choose the functions performed by the keys of our pocket PC (PPC) within the programm.
To do it, you have to call Menu > Tools > Customize.
Then you get a list with all the relevant functions of the program with the predefined hotkeys.
Let's assume that we want to use the fuction keys that some devices have below the screen to load the next / previous game in a database directly.
We search for the function in the list. In this case, File > Next game.
Afer selecting it, we tap on the button in the lower icon bar to open the key assignment dialog. With the tick on "Use hardware keys" and having selected the field "Hotkey", we press the yellow marked key showed above and automatically we get its reference (F2) in the field.
Then you have to tap on the key with the small green plus sign to save the key assignment.
To finish the procedure, please tap on the OK button in the upper right corner.
The red arrow icon on the lower left corner is used to leave the dialog without saving the assignment, while the icon showing a crossed out button is for deleting the highlighted combination.
Back to the main screen of the function, you can see that the procedure is paired with the key and you only have to repeat the steps mutatis mutandi with the function File > Previous game and the red marked key.
Of course, it is possible to change the assignments whenerver you want. To delete an assignment you only have to highlight it and the tap on the crossed out button.
Please, always remember to leave the screen by tapping on OK (upper right corner) and not on the red arrow (lower left corner). Otherwise, your customization won't be saved.
