Hotspots A hotspot facility is provided which enables you to invoke a function by clicking on a keyword displayed on the screen. For example, an application may display information relating to keys you can press to perform a particular function. Instead of pressing the key on the keyboard, you could invoke the function by holding down the Control key and clicking the mouse pointer on the key name on the display (assuming default mouse configuration). Hotspots are supported in ALL terminal emulation modes. A set of default keywords is provided for each mode. These keywords relate to key functions specific to the emulation. For example, in VT400 mode you can tap on the word Help displayed on the screen and the emulator executes the function associated with the Help key. You can identify hotspots that are currently present in display memory by assigning the Show Hotspots function to a key + mouse button combination using the Define Stylus Actions dialog box (refer to the Mouse Functions chapter for details). Holding down the relevant key and left mouse button causes all color attributes to be temporarily removed from the display and the hotspots to be highlighted with a red background. Releasing the key and left mouse button returns the display to its original state. Getting Started 1-15

Hotspots
A hotspot facility is provided which enables you to invoke a function by clicking on a key-
word displayed on the screen. For example, an application may display information relat-
ing to keys you can press to perform a particular function. Instead of pressing the key on
the keyboard, you could invoke the function by holding down the
Control
key and click-
ing the mouse pointer on the key name on the display (assuming default mouse configura-
tion).
Hotspots are supported in ALL terminal emulation modes. A set of default keywords is
provided for each mode. These keywords relate to key functions specific to the emulation.
For example, in VT400 mode you can tap on the word
Help
displayed on the screen and
the emulator executes the function associated with the
Help
key.
You can identify hotspots that are currently present in display memory by assigning the
Show Hotspots
function to a key + mouse button combination using the
Define Stylus
Actions
dialog box (refer to the
Mouse Functions
chapter for details).
Holding down the relevant key and left mouse button causes all color attributes to be tem-
porarily removed from the display and the hotspots to be highlighted with a red back-
ground. Releasing the key and left mouse button returns the display to its original state.
