Define Keyboard Macros
This dialog box is displayed by selecting Keyboard Macros in the Settings menu.
The Define Keyboard Macros dialog box enables you to redefine the function of
most of the keys on your keyboard, including the key combinations listed below:
Key
Shift + Key

Control + Shift + Key
Alt + Key
Alt + Shift + Key
Alt + Control + Key
Alt + Control + Shift + Key
Each definition 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.
Note: An escape sequence will be sent across a network as a single
packet.
The Predefined Macros 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. The Virtual Key Names appendix lists all the functions and associated virtual
key names for each terminal emulation.
A key definition may be actioned locally or transmitted to the host when the key or
key combination is pressed. This is determined by the setting of the Local check box.
When unchecked the definition will be transmitted to the host.
The Current Macro Definitions box displays the key and key combinations that are
currently defined. You can remove the selected definition or delete all the definitions
by clicking the relevant Remove button.
