Setup Menus
The Predefined Macros option at the bottom of this dialog box enables you to select
from a list of standard functions associated with the current terminal emulation.
Clicking the arrow button will display a list box in which the names of valid key
functions (called virtual key names) are shown.
Note: The Virtual Key Names appendix lists all the functions and
associated virtual key names for each terminal emulation.
Before making a selection from this list box, click the pointer in the text box next to
the key combination that will be required to perform the function, that is, Normal
(key pressed on its own), Shift (key shifted) etc. For example, to assign the Help key
function to the key combination Alt + F1, click the pointer in the text box next to Alt,
display the Predefined Macros list box and scroll through the selection until
VT_HELP is displayed, click the pointer on it then click the Apply button. The
current function of the Alt + F1 key combination will be replaced with the Help
function, indicated in the text box by <VT_HELP>. If you want the mapping of this
key to be saved when you perform a Save Session, make sure the Non-Volatile box
is checked. Click the OK button to activate the change and close the dialog box. Note
that you will now have two keys which emulate the same function, the default
mapping and the mapping you have just specified. You can either leave them this
way or assign a new function to the key which was mapped by default.
When you have finished remapping the keyboard, click the OK button in the
Keyboard Macros dialog box to close it and cause TeemTalk to assert the changes.
You can save the new keyboard mapping so that TeemTalk will reassert it each time it
is loaded or reset by displaying the Save Session As dialog box, selecting the
Keyboard Macros option, then clicking the OK button.
Programming A Key
Most of the keys on the keyboard may be programmed with up to five definitions
each. Keys that cannot be redefined include Shift, Caps Lock, Alt, Alt Gr and Print
Screen. Both Ctrl keys can be redefined.
To program a key, click the key in the upper layout (which represents your
keyboard). The Define Key Macro dialog box will be displayed. This dialog box
shows the current definitions of all the following combinations for the selected key:
Key
Shift + Key
Control + Key
Control + Shift + Key
Alt + Key
Each key combination may contain a string of up to 127 characters. The combined
total of all the characters that may be programmed into keys is determined by the 127
character limit per definition and the amount of memory available in your PC.
