Keyboard Configuration Compose Character Sequences Compose character sequences can be used to generate codes for characters not shown on your keyboard. The characters that can be composed depend on the setting of the Character Set Mode option in the Emulation Settings dialog box and the Preferred Char. Set option in the Terminal Settings dialog box. When Character Set Mode is is set to National, only characters found in the character set that corresponds to the selected keyboard nationality can be composed. When Multinational is selected, the emulator is in Multinational mode and characters from all national keyboard layouts may be composed. The tables of characters that are used in Multinational mode depend on the setting of the Preferred Char. Set option. When this is set to DEC-MCS, the ASCII (7-bit) and DEC Additional (8-bit) character sets are used. When this option is set to ISO Latin-1, the ASCII (7-bit) and ISO Latin-1 Additional (8-bit) character sets are used. The Character Sets appendix shows all the tables of characters that may be selected. If a character is a diacritical symbol (e.g. ´ or ¨) and this symbol does not appear on the keyboard, an equivalent character can be used in some cases. The diacritical symbols and the possible substitutes are shown below. There are no equivalents for the circumflex accent and tilde mark. Diacritical Mark ´ Acute accent ¨ Umlaut ` Grave accent ° Ring mark Equivalent Character ' Apostrophe " Double quote ' Single quote * Asterisk or degree sign To compose a character, first find the character you wish to compose in the left hand column of the following tables. The two characters shown in the right hand column are the keys that are used to create it. Several alternatives may be given for generating the same character. A compose sequence is initiated by pressing the keys Alt + C together, followed by the key bearing the first character then the key bearing the second character. Note: The compose character sequence can also be initiated by pressing a key defined with the COMPOSE virtual key name. A compose character sequence may be abandoned before completion by pressing the Delete key. Pressing Alt + C (or the key defined with the COMPOSE virtual key name) again before completing a compose character sequence will cause it to be abandoned and a second sequence to be started. An invalid compose character sequence will cause the bell to sound. 3-4

Keyboard Configuration

Compose Character Sequences

Compose character sequences can be used to generate codes for characters not

shown on your keyboard. The characters that can be composed depend on the setting

of the

Character Set Mode

option in the

Emulation Settings

dialog box and the

Preferred Char. Set

option in the

Terminal Settings

dialog box.

When

Character Set Mode

is is set to

National

, only characters found in the

character set that corresponds to the selected keyboard nationality can be composed.

When

Multinational

is selected, the emulator is in Multinational mode and charac-

ters from all national keyboard layouts may be composed.

The tables of characters that are used in Multinational mode depend on the setting of

the

Preferred Char. Set

option. When this is set to

DEC-MCS

, the ASCII (7-bit)

and DEC Additional (8-bit) character sets are used. When this option is set to

ISO

Latin-1

, the ASCII (7-bit) and ISO Latin-1 Additional (8-bit) character sets are used.

The

Character Sets

appendix shows all the tables of characters that may be selected.

If a character is a diacritical symbol (e.g. ´ or ¨) and this symbol does not appear on

the keyboard, an equivalent character can be used in some cases. The diacritical

symbols and the possible substitutes are shown below. There are no equivalents for

the circumflex accent and tilde mark.

Diacritical Mark

Equivalent Character

Acute accent

Apostrophe

Umlaut

Double quote

Grave accent

Single quote

Ring mark

Asterisk or degree sign

To compose a character, first find the character you wish to compose in the left hand

column of the following tables. The two characters shown in the right hand column

are the keys that are used to create it. Several alternatives may be given for

generating the same character. A compose sequence is initiated by pressing the keys

Alt

together, followed by the key bearing the first character then the key bearing

the second character.

Note:

The compose character sequence can also be initiated by

pressing a key defined with the COMPOSE virtual key

name.

A compose character sequence may be abandoned before completion by pressing the

Delete

key. Pressing

Alt

(or the key defined with the COMPOSE virtual key

name) again before completing a compose character sequence will cause it to be

abandoned and a second sequence to be started. An invalid compose character

sequence will cause the bell to sound.
