Initial Key

In the selection area above the key input field you can decide to enter the key in a direct way (keyboard; see direct key) or to read the key using a key dataset. Using a parameter dataset, you can additionally generate a random key by mouse moves.

Overlay information are only used if the corresponding checkbox field “with overlay information” below the initial key input field is switched on.

It’s useful especially having “long” keys to work with key datasets or overlay datasets in direct mode to get approximately the entire range of keys being possible (see also common key information).
