TIP: To quickly save changes to a file system on the File System tab when using an HP terminal,
press F2 followed by the letter m. You save time and effort using this method since you do not have
to navigate to the Modify button then press it.
vt100 Terminals
Typically the vt100 family keyboards use the same row of keys immediately above the numeric
key pad as function keys. These keys may be labeled [PF1] -[PF4], but in some cases may be labeled
*, /, +, and -. On some HP workstation (and HP 700 series terminals) keyboards, these keys may
be four unlabeled keys above the keypad. If this is the case, [PF1] is the left unlabeled most key
and [PF4] the right most key.
If you are unsure where the [PF1] - [PF4] keys are located on your keyboard, HP recommends the
following:
• Consult the hardware documentation for your terminal to determine the keys that correspond
to the [PF1] - [PF4] keys.
• If you are using X11, you must determine how your X11 key bindings are set. To view your
current X11 key bindings, run xmodmap with no options.
To set the keypad keys, *, /, +, and - to be [PF1] - [PF4], you would use the following
commands:
xmodmap -e "keysym KP_Multiply = KP_F1"
xmodmap -e "keysym KP_Divide = KP_F2"
xmodmap -e "keysym KP_Add = KP_F3"
xmodmap -e "keysym KP_Subtract = KP_F4"
NOTE: Modifying the key bindings in X Window in this manner affects all X clients. The
changes are not retained between sessions so you must modify the key bindings each time
you login to an X Window session.
• If you are using a PC terminal emulator, consult the emulator application documentation to
determine how the [PF1] - [PF4] keys have been mapped to your PC keyboard; it is possible
that no mappings exist. Typically, the [PF1] - [PF4] keys are mapped to the keys above the
key pad on your PC keyboard.
These four keys function as follows:
