This is where the software program's functionality ends. Unfortunately, there are no options integrated for saving all key codes to file so you're only left with the possibility to copy one value at a time. Another practical feature we can think of involves typing multiple keys to view all their values at a glance in order to save everything to file so you don't have to waste time retrieving codes for one key at a time.Nevertheless, Alternate Key Event does the job quickly and without affecting the computer's performance. It worked smoothly on Windows 10 in our tests. Taking everything into account, this app comes in handy for all users interested in learning the code mappings of specific characters.
