How to specify aliases for phone keys

It can be convenient to use identifiers for phone-specific key names in the configuration file. The DefineKeyName defines such identifiers as aliases for standard Symbian OS key codes.

The process is:

1. Open epoc.ini in a text editor. It can be found at epoc32\data\.

2. Enter the keyword DefineKeyName, followed by the alias name and the Symbian OS key code.

   For example,

   DefineKeyName EPhoneKeyConfirm EStdKeyDevice8

   defines a new identifier EPhoneKeyConfirm that is an alias for EStdKeyDevice8. EPhoneKeyConfirm can now be used for example in configuration file VirtualKey statements.

3. Save the file.
