Send Keyword The Send Keyword function enables you to click on any delimited word displayed on the screen and it is sent to the host, as long as the word is not already defined as a hotspot. Keyword delimiters are space, NULL and ]. Moving The Cursor In Block Mode When the emulator is in any of the local block modes you can use the mouse instead of the cursor keys to position the text cursor using the Move Cursor function. To position the text cursor, move the mouse pointer to the position required, hold down the Alt key then click the left mouse button. Emulating The Middle Mouse Button You can assign the left mouse button and a key combination to emulate the function of the middle button found on a three-button mouse. The Mouse Button Actions dialog box includes a Middle Button setting for this purpose. Show & Action Hotspots A hotspot facility is provided which enables you to invoke a function by clicking the mouse pointer 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 Alt key and clicking the mouse pointer on the displayed key name (assuming default mouse configuration). Hotspots are supported in ALL terminal emulation modes. A set of default hotspot keywords is provided for each mode. These relate to key functions specific to the emulation. For example, in VT400 mode you can click 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 using the Show Hotspots function. All color attributes are temporarily removed from the display and the hotspots are highlighted with a red background. Mouse Functions 3-3
