Defining Key Functions You can redefine the function of keys on the keyboard using the Define Keyboard Macros dialog box that is displayed by selecting Keyboard Macros in the Settings menu. This enables you to redefine the function of most of the keys on your keyboard, including the key combinations listed below: • Key • Shift + Key • Control + Key • Control + Shift + Key • Alt + 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 terminal. The Predefined Macros box enables you to select from a list of standard functions associated with the current terminal emulation. Clicking the arrow button displays a list box in which the names of valid key functions (called virtual key names) are shown. NOTE: The Virtual Key Names appendix lists all the functions and associated virtual key names for each terminal emulation. Note that a virtual key name is sent across a network as a single packet, whereas an escape sequence is split into several packets. If a required function has a virtual key name equivalent, use this instead of the escape sequence. A key definition may be acted upon locally or transmitted to the host when the key or key combination is pressed. This is determined by the setting of the Local check box. When unchecked the definition is transmitted to the host. The Current Macro Definitions box displays the key and key combinations that are currently defined. You can remove the selected definition or delete all the definitions by clicking the relevant Remove button. 2-2 Keyboard Configuration
