6530 Programmer’s Guide
Other keys (or key combinations) perform local operations only; the
6530 does not transmit any code to the host. Table 2-9 lists these keys
and describes the local actions performed.
Enter, Shift-Enter Transmits a CR control character (0DH), unless
redefined by an Esc u sequence, and performs the
CR control function. See “Carriage Return (CR)” on
page 2-8.
Backspace or left
arrow
Transmits a BS control character (08H) and
performs BS control function. See “Backspace (BS)” on
page 2-8.

Key(s) Description
Table 2-9. Keys That Perform Local Operations
Key(s) Description
Tab Transmits the required number of spaces to move the
cursor to the next tab stop and moves the cursor to that
location. If no tab stop exists past the current cursor
position, the 6530 transmits enough spaces to move the
cursor to the first column of the next row.
Ctrl-Scroll
Lock
Sends a break signal to the host.
Caps Lock Locks/unlocks the shift function for alphabetic characters
(letters) only.
Num Lock Locks/unlocks the shift function for the numeric keypad,
which shares the same area of the keyboard with cursor
control keys. When Num Lock is in effect, the user must
press the Shift key with an arrow key to move the cursor.
Ctrl-Enter Moves the cursor to the column following the last nonblank
character in the current row. If the cursor is initially past this
point, the cursor moves to the column following the last
nonblank character in the next row. If the last column has a
character in it, the cursor moves to the first column of the
next row. If the cursor is initially in the last row and the last
column contains a character, the cursor moves to this
column.
