Restrictions to Setting Bindkeys

The following restrictions apply to setting bindkeys:

• You must not use the Alt key as a modifier for any printable character.
• You must not assign alphanumeric bindkeys (a–z, A–Z, or 0–9) to the CIW or to an encapsulation window. (An encapsulation window is the user interface to software Cadence has modified to run in the Virtuoso Studio Design Environment.)
• You must not use the left or middle mouse buttons for setting bindings in the CIW or in an encapsulation window. Using these buttons to set bindings can conflict with their normal actions.
• You must not assign anything to the F3 or F4 function key. Cadence software uses the F3 key to display options forms and the F4 key for partial selection in graphics windows.
• You must not assign anything to the Lock (Caps Lock), ! (exclamation point), and ~ (tilde) keys.
• You must also not assign anything to the following keys:
