HP t1000 T1000 Series Terminal Emulation Guide - Page 26

To program a key so that it performs the same function as pressing a sequence of keys one after the other, enter each virtual key name in the order required, enclosing each virtual key name with the < and > characters. Each enclosed virtual key name must immediately follow the previous enclosed virtual key name with no spaces. For example, to program the A key so that when it is pressed it performs the same function as pressing the keys F2 then F3 then F4 enter the following characters in the key definition box: 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 National option in the Emulation Settings dialog box and the Preferred Font option in the Terminal Settings dialog box. When National is selected, only characters found in the character set that corresponds to the selected keyboard nationality can be composed. When National is not selected (default), 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 Font 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 (7bit) 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 + I together, followed by the key bearing the first character then the key bearing the second character. 2-4 Keyboard Configuration
