Need a term/phrase for functions initiated by pressing key or key combinations

I am documenting a piece of hardware that has an LCD screen and a keypad.

âBy pressing different keys or key combinations, you can do the following
things (plus more):

View the serial number
Test communication with the central radio
Return the unit to factory default settings
Adjust the LCD screen's contrast

These functions are activated by pressing two buttons simultaneously,
pressing and holding a single button, or pressing and holding a button
while the unit is powering up.

Since the functions are so diverse, I'm trying to come up with a generic
name for the appendix they'll be listed in. So far, all I've come up with
is "Key-invoked Functions," but it sounds cryptic to my ears.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks!

Debbi
