 To switch between ''C'' and ''L'' modes, press the **AL** key once. A second press of **AL** without pressing any other key in between will disable alphanumeric mode, and return to the previous mode. To temporarily alternate between ''C'' and ''L'', press **AL<sup>hold</sup>**, and the cursor will change from ''C'' to ''L'' or vice versa. This change is only temporary while holding **AL** and pressing other keys. When releasing **AL** the mode will revert back. To switch between ''C'' and ''L'' modes, press the **AL** key once.
