How do I use/activate the "Shortcut Keys" on a Dell P2210 monitor?
I have a Dell P2210 at work. It has "Shortcut Keys" on the On Screen Menu. There are several options that can be assigned. I want to be able to change the Input Source. I have that select for Shortcut Key 1.
What keyboard combination is the "Shortcut Key"? Or does this just work with Dell keyboards with special keys?
I am using the DVI for my first input source and will be adding a VGA source if I can get this figured out.
Note: I do have the monitor connected to the PC via USB.
I did find this documentation but its not complete...

First, thanks for the response Moby2579.
"The first and the second button from the TOP are the shortcut keys. " Are you referring to the JPG in your post or something else? A Dell keyboard perhaps? I need to know if I can assign those to a key or key combination on my keyboard.
"They cannot be used by any keboard. ". I just want to make sure I am reading this correctly...So I cannot use my Microsoft Natural 4000 to execute the shortcuts?
Thanks,
B

Ahh! (light bulb just went on...)
Thank you. Sorry. I had made a wild dreamy assumption that I could change the Input Source similar to how a KVM works. Like hitting the scroll key twice or something.
Thanks for the clarification.

Thanks for the clarification.
The shorcut here referes to a function as below:
You can use any of the 4 available modes and assign that mode to the shortkey 1 and 2. Doing so, you will be able to access that function "by press of a key" and need not go through the entire OSD menu.
