The “Keyboard” tab allows you to review and
reconfigure the position of most Host Key
functions on your keyboard. A comprehensive
list of the various Host Keys is available and you
can use the scroll buttons to review the complete
list in alphabetical order.
When you place the cursor over a certain Host
Key (“Enter” for example), the current settings for
that function are displayed (RIGHT CONTROL,
or ALT+NUM PAD ENTER, for example). If you
want to modify either of the settings for any of the
available Host Keys, click on “Set” alongside the
ALT+NUMPADENTER field and a new pop-up
screen will appear, see the example below.
This pop-up will advise you that the very next key
you type will be used as the new alternate key
for “Enter”. You will be warned if your chosen
key has already been assigned to a Host Key
function, at which time you can either Cancel or
OK your selection.
This utility will also advise you of any unused key
or key combinations that you may want to
consider using. The “Default” button is always a
useful safety net when experimenting with this
feature.
The Macros tab enables the recording of
repetitive information (today’s date, company
address; virtually any repetitive key sequence)
and replaying them upon demand. The
Copy/Paste feature includes all the options to
allow you to define the row/column position of
data in one session for copying and pasting
automatically into that same or a different
session, including the number of characters to be
copied. This can be used to copy the account
number from one session (an IBM AS/400 for
example) into another session (a Unix VT-220),
without having to retype each time. You can
even configure a Host Key to be executed after
the paste (an Enter, or F12, for example).
