Defining KeySwaps
------------------------------
A KeySwap can be configured by going to the Settings screen in RSI KeySwap and double-clicking on the first of   the unassigned KeySwaps, each of which is numbered from 1 to 10. This will make the KeySwap accessible for configuration. Click on the box on the left-hand side of the centre, and press the first of the keys in the pair you would like to swap. The name of the key will appear in the box. Now click on the other box in the row and press the other key in the pair.

RSI KeySwap allows you to define up to 10 separate pairs of keys to be swapped. You can delete a KeySwap either by double-clicking or right-clicking (left-clicking if your mouse is in left-handed mode) on the number of the row.

Once you have finished defining your keyswaps, click on the "Commit" button to confirm your changes. You can then activate the KeySwaps you have configured by clicking on the "Activate Keyswaps" button on the right-hand side of the screen. To deactivate your KeySwaps, simply click on "Suspend KeySwaps".

RSI KeySwap users generally tend to find that it takes them a 3-4 hours of typing to get used to their chosen KeySwaps, and that they will continue to make occasional keyboard errors for a few days after activation. One or two users have reported that these minor errors help them to realise that they were previously experiencing some strain with typing. It can also be a good idea to use small coloured stickers to remind you of which KeySwaps are in place.

Clicking on the "Close Window" icon in the top-right corner of the RSI KeySwap program will close the RSI KeySwap window, but the program will continue to run as an icon in the Windows system tray. To fully exit RSI KeySwap, right-click (left-click if your mouse is in left-handed mode) on the icon in the Windows system tray, and select "Exit". `


Recommended KeySwaps
------------------------------
Here are a couple of sample KeySwap combinations which we feel might be useful for certain users - try them out and see if they help!

KeySwap 1 - "Thump the Mirror"
Right-handed typists who also have the mouse on the right-hand side of the keyboard tend to overuse the two right-hand fingers of the right hand. The two most commonly used keys in this area are the Backspace and the enter keys. Swapping i) the Backspace key with the Escape key and ii) the Enter key with the Caps Lock key can help move the action over to the other side of the keyboard.

KeySwap 2 - "The Thumb Banger"
Constantly striking the space bar with either the left- or right-hand thumb can lead to stress. Relieve this stress by moving the function of the space bar to a key which can only be used easily by the thumb not normally used for the space bar. For example, swap the function of the space bar with the left-hand CTRL key. You can still use the right-hand CTRL key for the control function.
