Keyboard Configuration
This enables you to redefine the function of most of the keys on your keyboard,
including the key combinations listed below:
Key Alt + Key
Shift + Key Alt + Shift + Key
Control + Key Alt + Control + Key
Control + Shift + Key Alt + Control + Shift + Key
Each definition may contain a string of up to 127 characters. The combined total of all
the characters that may be programmed into keys is determined by the 127 character
limit per definition and the amount of memory available in your PC.
The Predefined Macros box enables you to select from a list of standard functions
associated with the current terminal emulation. Clicking the arrow button will display a
list box in which the names of valid key functions (called virtual key names) are
shown. The Virtual Key Names appendix lists all the functions and associated virtual
key names for each terminal emulation.
A key macro may be actioned automatically on start-up, or transmitted to the host or
actioned locally when the key or key combination is pressed. This is determined by
selecting Normal, Remote, Local or Startup in the list box when defining the key.
Selecting Normal will cause the macro to be processed according to the current
operating mode when the key or key combination is pressed.
The Current Macro Definitions box displays the key and key combinations that are
currently defined. The Type column indicates whether the macro is processed as
normal (blank), remote (R), local (L) or on start-up (S).
You can remove the selected definition or delete all the definitions by clicking the
relevant Remove button.
