Syntax

PFKEY=pfkey-set

Required Argument

pfkey-set
specifies which set of 12 function keys is to be considered the primary set. Acceptable values include the following:
PRIMARY
specifies that the primary set be F13 through F24. Thus, F13 through F24 would have the basic settings; F1 through F12 would have the extended settings. You can use PRI as an alias for PRIMARY.
ALTERNATE
specifies that the primary set be F1 through F12. Thus F1 through F12 would have the basic settings; F13 through F24 would have the extended settings. You can use ALT as an alias for ALTERNATE.
12
specifies that F1 through F12 exactly match F13 through F24. Thus, both F1 through F12 and F13 through F24 would have the basic settings. As a result, the Keys window displays only F1 through F12.
