Modifier keys (standalone)
Shift, Ctrl, Alt/Option, Cmd/Win (GUI). Assigning a modifier as a standalone key sends that modifier alone when pressed.
Key output depends on your operating system’s keyboard layout setting. If your OS is configured for a non-US layout (such as AZERTY, QWERTZ, or a regional variant), symbol and letter keys may produce different characters than the labels suggest. MinimalPad sends hardware key codes — the OS layout determines what character appears on screen.
