Like the iAW, I would like to use a hyphen as a "Field Minus" in ACS.

A "Field Minus" cannot be used in laptops without a 10-key function.
I would like to use a hyphen as a "Field Minus" in the event of iAW.


Use Case:

Use to enter a negative value for a numeric field.

    This is already available. I use it all the time.

    Under Edit, Preferences, Keyboard...
    Select the Category "Host Functions"
    Scroll down to and select 'Field Minus' under the Host Functions
    Click 'Assign a Key'

    The emulator asks you to press a key, so press the minus key.

    Save your changes and you're done.
