3278 Keyboards
Because the IBM 3278 keyboard differs greatly from those on ASCII terminals,
TN3270 provides keyboard maps. A keyboard map assigns the functions on the IBM
3270 keyboards to keys or key sequences on the ASCII terminals. For example, Ctrl/
Z on an ASCII keyboard by default maps to the IBM 3270 EXIT function when you
use the VT100 keyboard map.
Server-Specific Keyboard Maps
You can have server-wide keyboard maps that all server ports can access, or you can
set them up on a port-by-port basis. For information on displaying and customizing
keyboard maps, refer to Displaying and Customizing Keyboard Maps in this chapter.
