VT100 User Interface
5-3
Special Keystrokes
As well as the keystrokes previously described, there
are several other keystrokes for controlling the
VT100 interface. These keystrokes allow you to move
the cursor around the screen, enter information and
move from one screen to another:
When you have finished entering or changing data,
[Ctrl]+[B] is very useful for skipping over the
remaining fields.
If you are using Telnet or a terminal emulation
program, you may find that some control keys do
not operate, or that they activate other functions.
The Windows terminal emulator uses [Ctrl]+[H] as
backwards deletion, whereas others use it for
backward cursor movement. Consult the manual
accompanying your Telnet or terminal emulation
software before using the control keys.
[Tab]
Moves the cursor from one field to
the next.
[Ctrl]+[B]
Moves the cursor to the next button.
[Ctrl]+[P]
Returns you to the previous screen
without actioning any inputs.
[Ctrl]+[R]
Refreshes the screen.
[Ctrl]+[K]
Displays a list of the possible
keystrokes.
