| 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.

| Q.: How do I map a single key to a sequence of several commands/characters? |
A.: You can create a "quick-key" to do this:
- First make a connection to a server using the emulation type (or existing profile) for which you wish to create a quick-key. Then select Options->Terminal settings->Quick keys. Enter the name you wish to give the quick key
- Choose the type of quick key you wish to create in the "select function type" pull down list box.
- Choose a command/character you need in the "Function" list box
- Click the "Append Function" button to add the new command/character to the quick-key
- Repeat the previous 3 steps to build the desired sequence.
- Click "Set" to create the quick-key
Now you can map the new quick-key to a single physical key using the Keyboard Mapping Dialog (see FAQ "How do I map a key to a character sequence or action my application requires?")

| Q.: How do I map an escape sequence to a specific key such as the F7 key to the sequence:
Escape, [, 2, 4
|
A.: The way to do this is to write a macro which sends the desired four key sequence and then
assign the macro to the F7 key.

| Q.: How do I map the F1 key in an Intelliterm session? |
A.: The steps required to map the F1 key to say the Clear function and associate it with your current session profile is as follows:
1) Once you are logged onto a session go to Options-> Terminal Settings-> Keyboard Mapping-> then click on F1 key on the keyboard. Then select Function Type as Action Keys and choose the Clear function. Click on Set and then Save the keyboard mapping by giving it a relevant name. For example:F1MAP.
2) Then click on Options-> Edit Session Profile. Your current session name comes up on the title. Choose the Keyboard category and choose the F1MAP and click on Save. This associates the session you have chosen with the F1MAP keymap file.
The next time you load your session the F1 key will be mapped to the Clear function. So everytime you hit F1 it will clear the screen.

| Q.: I would like to map a specific escape sequence to a key in VT emulation.
For example, I want the F5 key to be ESC O w (that is an escape, capitol
O, and small case w).
|
A.: When connected, go to Options->Terminal Settings->Quick Keys
In the Quick Keys dialog, enter a name for the quick key (e.g. EscOw), and in the "Assigned Quick-Key String" type "^[Ow" (including quotation marks), and click the Set button.
Close the Quick Key dialog, go to Options->Terminal Settings->Keyboard Mapping, click F5 on the keyboard map, then choose "Quick Keys" in the Select Function Type drop-down box, choose the Quick-Key you've created (EscOw in this example), and click the Set Button. Then click Save to save the new setting in a keyboard profile.

| Q.: I'd like to map a single key to specific sequence but the sequence I need to map is not available in the quick key Functions list.
|
A.: You cannot use quick keys for this but you can make use of the macro feature in IntelliTerm. Here is how:
- First make a connection to a server. Then select Macro->Edit. This will bring up the Macro Editor.
- Between the Sub Main/End Sub statements type:
CurrentHost.Keys "<string>"
where "<string>" is the sequence you want to send.
For example, your macro may look like:
Sub Main
CurrentHost.Keys Chr(27)+"[Z"
End Sub
- Select File->Save in the Macro editor to save the macro in a file
Now you can map the new macro to a key using the Keyboard Mapping Dialog (see FAQ "How do I map a key to a character sequence or action my application requires?") |
