Modify MB-Ruler.htk

Open the file MB-Ruler.htk in a text editor, to modify the settings of the hotkeys. (The file MB-Ruler.htk is available after the first execution of MB-Ruler.)
Set the item UseThisTable in the section Generel to 1 to activate the file:

[Generel] UseThisTable=1

Every hotkey has its own section. The internal name of each hotkey is listed in the third row of the table above.
These value can be modified:

`UseThisHotKey`	`=1` this hotkey is used `=0` this hotkey is deactivated
`OverrideAppParameter`	`=1` the keycodes defined in this section are used for this hotkey `=0`the predefined keycodes are used for this hotkey
`Modifier VirtualKey`	`Modifier` and `Virtualkey` define the keyboard codes for the function keys. Have a look the MSDN Help for valid values.

Restart MB-Ruler to use the new hotkey definition.
