Keyboard Mapping

The functions of the computer keyboard are mapped as closely as possible to the terminal being

emulated. The mapping of key functions can be determined by referring to the Emulation Keys list

box in the Key Macro Settings dialog, which is displayed by selecting Key Macros... on the

Tools menu.

The information in brackets in the right column indicates the default mapping of the key function named

in the left column. In the list, S+ indicates the Shift key, C+ indicates the Control key and A+

indicates the Alt key. For example:

VT_F20 (A+VK_F10)

indicates that the F20 function is mapped to the key combination Alt + F10.

The keyboard has operating two modes, Normal or DEC. You can toggle between the two modes by

pressing the keys Alt + Num Lock together. The 9th item on the status bar will display DEC when the

keyboard is in DEC mode.

Special key functions usually found on a DEC VT keyboard can be mapped to any key on your

keyboard using the VT virtual key names listed in the Key Macro Settings dialog.

The illustrations on the following pages show where DEC VT510 keyboard functions are mapped to

keys on a 101/102 key keyboard.
