Keyboard shortcuts

These keyboard shortcuts let you control the eLux® desktop without a mouse — switching between applications, locking the device, and opening key panels:

Shortcut Function
WIN Open or close the Start menu.*
CTRL+ALT+↓ Switch between open applications to the left.
CTRL+ALT+↑ Switch between open applications to the right.
CTRL+WIN Switch from other applications to eLux: The eLux taskbar/system bar with open applications is shown.
WIN+ALT+I Open the device information.
CTRL+ALT+Home Unlock the Configuration panel: Requests the local device password.
CTRL+ALT+END Lock the device’s screen. If user authentication is active, the user password is required for unlocking.
CTRL+ALT+Function key


Switch between the consoles, if the Console switch option is enabled.
The following consoles are available
F1: eLux desktop
F4: Message console

* A quick tap (press and release within about half a second) opens or closes the Start menu. Holding the key, or pressing it together with another key, does nothing. When a full-screen application or a focused remote session (Citrix, RDP, Horizon) has focus, the key goes to that application instead — the shortcut works again once you click back on the desktop.
