The hotkey module switches to the corresponding function or interface by selecting the set button by the keyboard. For example, pressing the F3 key of the keyboard, the system switches to function 3, and according to the variety of keyboards, the keyboard code setting is not exactly the same. The data will be analyzed from the device report data to analyze the key data of the keyboard to set the key code of the hot key. When the control engine module receives the keyboard data, it compares with the set hot key code.
