Redefining Keyboard Shortcuts (Hot Keys)
Redefining Keyboard Shortcuts (Hot Keys)
Predefined keyboard shortcuts (also called hot keys) allow users to do the
following:
• Perform common actions while connected through a KVM port
• Emulate Sun keyboard keys while connected through a KVM port to a Sun
server.
If desired, the KVM/net administrator can redefine the default hot keys either
through the Web Manager or the OSD.
Redefining KVM Connection Hot Keys
The hot key sequences used while connected to KVM ports have two parts,
which are called the common escape sequence and the command key. The
default common escape sequence is
Ctrl+k, and the command key is
different for each command. For example, the
q command key is entered after
Ctrl+k to quit the login session as shown here: Ctrl+k q. See “Hot Keys for
KVM Connections” on page 329 for the defaults. Under Configure>KVM in
the Web Manager, the common escape sequence is defined separately from
the command keys. The KVM/net administrator can redefine two different
sets of command keys for users accessing KVM ports through the OSD (User
1 or User 2) and another set for connections made through the Web Manager.
Redefining Sun Keyboard Equivalent Hot Keys
The KVM/net provides a default set of hot keys for use while connected to
Sun servers through KVM ports to emulate keys that are present on Sun
keyboards but are not present on Windows keyboards. The hot keys are made
up of a modifier key followed by a function key. See “Redefining Sun
Keyboard Modifier Keys” on page 175 for more details. The default modifier
key is the Windows
[WIN] key, which is labeled with the Windows logo.
KVM/net administrators can redefine the default
[WIN] modifier key to
[
Ctrl], [Shift],or [Alt].
