Configuring Special Key Functions
Console redirection uses ANSI terminal emulation, which is limited to basic ASCII characters. Function keys, arrow keys, and control keys are not available in
the ASCII character set, and most utilities require function keys and control keys for ordinary operations. However, you can emulate a function key or control
key using a special key sequence, called an escape sequence.
An escape sequence starts with an escape character. You can enter this character in different ways, depending on the requirements of your terminal
emulation software. For example, 0x1b and <Esc> each represent the escape character. In HyperTerminal, you can create macros by selecting Key Macros
from the View menu. You can assign a macro to almost any key for almost any key combination. Create a macro to represent each function key.
lists the escape sequences that represent a special key or function.
Table A-1. Supported ANSI Escape Sequences
NOTE:
When creating macros in HyperTerminal, press <Insert> before <Esc> to signify that you are sending an escape sequence rather than escaping
out of the dialog box. If you do not have this function, you must upgrade HyperTerminal.
NOTE:
Escape-sequence key combinations listed in
are case-sensitive. For example, to generate the character <A> you must press
<Shift><a>.
