    MS 5050 Keyboard Pause/Break Key


    I'm trying to figure out what combination to use for a Pause/Break key on an MS 5050 or sculpt keyboard, or how to program a macro. I have read several articles on here and they are very unclear. We use an old school mainframe program and I need this key to clear data on my screen quickly.


    On my laptop, I have a Fn button on the keyboard, so I can use the Fn button + P to complete this. On the 5050 keyboard, i have a pause button but it does nothing, and none of the combinations listed in other articles seem to work. When programming a macro, I see no options for an Fn button.


    Can someone please give me very specific instructions on how to set this up or what to do. I believe what I need is the break button, but cannot 100% confirm.

    :)

    Assign Break or Pause key function

    Hi mayurpatel111,

    By default the Pause/Break you cannot change the mapping of the Pause/Break keys. For you to change the mapping of the Pause/Break keys, it's best that you contact the manufacturer of your keyboard for assistance some keyboard manufacturers allow changing
    the mapping of their keyboards or install a third party application.

    If you have further queries, feel free to post in the Answers Community.

    Assign Break or Pause key function

    Can we assign the keyboard key "Pause" or "Break"?

    MS Wireless Keyboard 5050 - Shortcut keys

    On my old keyboard, I could press F5 in Notepad for a timestamp. However I am unable to get a timestamp when I press F5 in Notepad with my new keyboard. How can I get my new keyboard (MS Comfort Wireless 5050 Desktop) to give me a timestamp in Notepad?
