ABSTRACT:
A method for constituting bootstrap hotkeys comprises a step (11) for identifying a predetermined keyboard and a step (13) for booting hotkey functions. The step (11) further comprises: a step (110) for executing hotkey's bootstrap codes and transferring a keyboard-identification means to a keyboard when a computer is booted; a step (112) for transmitting a keyboard-confirmation means from the keyboard to the host computer in response to the keyboard-identification means; and a step (114) for recognizing the keyboard-confirmation means in light of the hotkey's bootstrap codes; followed by the activation of the hotkey function or, if fails, by terminating the hotkey's bootstrap codes. The step (13) further comprises: a step (130) for validating a depressed single key or combination key of the keyboard by the hotkey's bootstrap codes; if confirmed to be a bootstrap hotkey, a menu of hotkey functions is shown on a screen; and a step (132) for comparing a depressed single key or combination key of the keyboard with a input-key indicating portion; if identical, the host computer will execute an application program corresponding to the application indicating portion.
