The 83+ family's OS (versions 1.15 and greater) have built-in support for the [http://education.ti.com/us/product/accessory/keyboard/features/features.html TI Keyboard]. The default action is to translate some key combinations into calculator key codes (for example, Diamond+` is the same as pressing the APPS key). You can set a [[83Plus:Flags:3D#Bit 6|flag]] to disable this behavior and retrieve the raw key codes from the keyboard, as shown below.
