Keys Menu (F5)
Enter Key: CR, CR-LF, TAB
Choose the code the Enter key in the numeric keypad transmits.
Return Key: CR, CR-LF, TAB
Choose the code the Return key in the main alphanumeric keypad transmits.
Alt Key (left): Meta, Compose, Funct, Scroll-Lock, Alt Key
Choose how the left ALT key (or the Compose key on the ANSI keyboard) behaves.
• Meta sets the most significant bit for the next character and allows 8-bit data to be generated from the keyboard.
• Compose precedes sequences of keys to create a character that is not on the keyboard but is available in the active character set.
• Scroll Lock causes the Alt key to function as the Scroll Lock key, and is a toggle to hold/free data on the screen. It requires the use of flow control for the
host port Rcv Prtcl.
• Funct
causes the Alt key to function as the Funct key on an ASCII keyboard.
• Alt K
ey causes the left Alt key to behave identically to the right Alt key.
Pound Key: U.S., British
Choose the character transmitted for 23h—the US pound (#) or the British pound (£).
Return Key Repeat: On, Off
Choose whether the Return key located on the alphanumeric keypad will repeat when
held down for more than half a second (only selectable when “Key
Repeat” = On).
Local Leadin: On, Off
You can choose this parameter only when Key Mode (in the Keyboard menu) is ScanCode. If Local Leadin is off, the only local func
tion, as shown in
Appendix A, is Ctrl+Scroll Lock (Ctrl+Select on the ANSI keyboard and Shift+Setup on the ASCII keyboard) to enter Setup. If Local Leadin is on, the Setup
keystroke disguises the keystroke as local and then local functions can be generated using the keystrokes listed in the Appendix.
For example, to enter Setup when ScanCode and Local Leadin are on, press Ctrl+Scroll Lock (Ctrl+Select on t
he ANSI keyboard) to introduce this as a
local function (“LEAD” appears in the status line). Then press Ctrl+Scroll Lock (Ctrl+Select on the ANSI keyboard and Shift+Setup on the ASCII
keyboard) to enter Setup.
Note:
Local Leadin does not work if the Comm Mode is set to Half Block or Full Block.
UDKs: E
mul Dependent, User Dependent
Choose whether the UDKs should get defaulted when the host changes the emulation.
The following selections apply to the PC keyboards:
Disconnect: Disabled, Pause, Alt+Pause
Choose the keystroke that will generate a modem disconnect.
Backspace: BS/DE
L, DEL/BS, DEL/CAN, BS/BS
Choose the codes sent by the backspace key in the normal/shifted positions.
Desk Acc: Shift
+Ctrl+Fkeys, Ctrl+←, Disabled
Choose how the Desk Accessories can
be accessed. This selection does not appear when SCO Console emulation is selected. In SCO Console emulation,
pressing Ctrl+← is the only access method.
The default allows the desk accessories to be accessed through a menu that appears when you press Ctrl+Æ. Th
is dispalys a window, where you can choose
the specific accessory that can be activated from that menu item by pressing F1 to F5. The Shift+Ctrl+Fkeys option, when selected, allows direct access to
desk accessories (bypassing the menu) by pressing Shift+Ctrl+F1 through Shift+Ctrl+F5. Selecting Disabled inhibits entry to desk accessories. Once a desk
accessory is displayed, you can access any other desk accessory by pressing only the function key associated with it (without pressing Shift+Ctrl).
The following selections apply only to the ANSI keyboard:
Disconnect: Disabled, Shift+F5
Choose to allow the keystroke that generates a modem disconnect on the ANSI keyboard or to disable the Disconnect function. Note
that if “F1 to F5 keys”
is Fkey in Setup, the Disconnect function is remapped to Ctrl+Shift+F5.
F1 to F5 keys: Lo
cal, Fkey
This selection determines whether the first five keys, labeled F1–F5, serve as local keystrokes (for example, F3 allows access to Setup) or will serve as function
keys that are loaded with the default strings. (Only reprogrammed strings are visible in the text area for a given function or edit key. The default strings are not
visible in Setup.)
Note:
If you choose Fkey, then the keystroke to enter Setup becomes Ctrl+F3 on the ANSI keyboard.
With the three re-mapping selections, keys that are available on a PC keyboard are now available on the ANSI keyboard: [ESC] [`~] [, and .].
