How do I map a key to a character sequence or action my application requires?
 
Product: Distinct IntellitermTopic: Keyboard MappingLast updated: 3/31/2008
 
Q.: How do I map a key to a character sequence or action my application requires?
A.: To map a character sequence to a key you should:
  • First connect to a server using the emulation type you wish to map the key for. Then select Options->Terminal settings->Keyboard mapping.
  • Click the key you want to map on the keyboard layout. Choose Normal if you wish to map the actual key or, if you wish to map its use in combination with another key such as Shift or Control select the appropriate combination key
  • In "select function type" choose - "System commands" for IntelliTerm-related actions, such as "Print Screen", "Toggle Scrollback", etc. "Action Keys" for keys like "PF1", "PA1", "Shift-F12", "Telnet-Break", etc. "Editing Keys" for keys like "Backspace", "Delete", etc. "Quick keys" for assigning a quick-key (user-definable character sequence) to a physical key. "Characters" for mapping a physical key to an arbitrary character. "Macros" for executing some macro when a key is pressed.
  • Choose the command/character you wish to map the key to in the "Function" list box, or specify the macro file path if you're mapping to a macro.
  • Click the "Set" button to set the new mapping.
  • Click "Save" to save the new mapping in a profile for future use (The "[Default]" profile is used for every session unless you change this in the Session Profile->Keyboard dialog), or click "OK" to keep the new mapping for the current session only.
