Customization
If you want to program a key to behave differently than one of
the factory defined keys, then you will need to know about the
following VT510 key categories:
Function: Keys used to transmit function key sequences
or to perform local terminal functions such as
the arrow keys (
*
,
+
,
)
,
(
), the
Shift
modifier
key, or the
Set-Up
key.
Alphanumeric: Keys used to transmit alphanumeric
characters.
Modifier Keys Modifier keys vary from within the function and alphanumeric
categories. A modifier key is a key that modifies the behavior
of other keys when it is pressed and held down. For example,
pressing an alphanumeric key in combination with the
Shift
modifier key will normally send the shifted or uppercase
characters for that key.
Modifier keys are treated as a special kind of local terminal
function. The VT510 function modifier keys are:
Shift
,
Ctrl
, and
Alt
. VT510 alphanumeric keys can also be modified by pressing
Group Shift
(
Alt Gr
on enhanced PC keyboards) and
Alt Shift
(Shift-2). Modifier keys themselves cannot normally be modified
by other keys. A key assigned to act as the
Shift
modifier, for
example, cannot transmit a function sequence when pressed in
combination with the
Alt
key. Defining a key as a modifier key
makes all assignable combinations of that key act as a modifier.
