COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED
Example: Entering Ctrl + Alt + Del
The attention key compose sequences can be combined together and with other
attention key support sequences to compose virtually any key combination. For
example, if you needed to perform a Ctrl + Alt + Del key sequence on the
managed server:
1. Enter the attention key. In this example the attention key is set to its
default: Ctrl+A. Press both the Ctrl and the A keys down
simultaneously. Release both keys, making sure to release the Ctrl key
last.
2. Enter the command to press and hold the Ctrl key on the managed
server’s keyboard. This command key is Z.
3. Enter another attention key to begin the sequence to add the Alt key to
list of keys that should be pressed down on the managed server’s
keyboard. Press Ctrl + A as above in step 1.
4. Enter the command to add the Alt key to the list of keys pressed down
on the managed server’s keyboard. This command key is X.
5. Enter another attention key to begin the Del key support sequence. Press
Ctrl + A as above in step 1.
6. Enter the command to press the Del key on the managed server’s
keyboard. This command key is B.
Steps 1 and 2 signal IRC that you wish to compose a key sequence on the
managed server keyboard with the Ctrl key pressed down. Steps 3 and 4 signal
IRC that you additionally want to hold down the Alt key on the managed server
keyboard. Steps 5 and 6 generate a Del key on the managed server keyboard.
Since the Del key was preceded by the Ctrl and Alt compose sequences, all
three are pressed simultaneously on the server’s keyboard. The Del support
sequence, since it is not an attention compose sequence, automatically ends the
compose sequence, releasing both the Ctrl and Alt keys following the Ctrl +
Alt + Del sequence.
