Entering the virtual flash drive

1. Enter Power User Mode (PUM): progm + shift + esc.
2. Open the virtual drive (v-drive): progm + F1

Closing the v-drive

1. Double check that all edited .txt files are saved
2. Eject the v-drive.
3. Close the v-drive by clicking progm +F1. The LEDs on the Keyboard will flash twice when the drive is closed.
4. Ignore any messages from the system that complains about the drive not being ejected properly.

Creating new hotkey layouts

1. Enter the layout mode you want to start from (DVORAK or QWERTY)
2. Ensure PUM is enabled and v-drive is closed.
3. Click progm + F2 to enter Hotkey Laout Creation Mode. The Num Lock key will flash rapidly.
4. Enter the key you will use for the Hotkey layout (alphanumeric). After tapping the key the LED will stop flashing.
5. You now have a copy of the layout you were in. (progm + shift + F9 to soft reset to basic DVORAK or QWERTY)

Changing an existing layouts
