This feature allows you to switch between computers in order to monitor them

1. Enter the Hotkey mode by pressing the:

Once you are in Skip mode, you can continue skipping by pressing the
arrow keys. You do not have to use the [Num Lock] + [-] combination
again.

suspended – only Skip mode compliant keystrokes can be input. You must
exit Skip mode to regain normal control of the console.
