Keystroke Mappings
During console redirection, the remote terminal sends keystrokes to the local server. The local
server passes video back over this same link.
For keys that have an ASCII mapping, such as <A> and <Ctrl><A>, the remote sends the
ASCII character. For keys that do not have an ASCII mapping, such as <F1> and <Alt><A>,
the remote sends a string of characters, as defined in the tables below. The strings are based on
the ANSI terminal standard. Since the ANSI terminal standard does not define all the keys on
the standard 101 key U.S. keyboard, such as <F5> - <F12>, <Page Up>, and
<Page Down>, mappings for these keys are available.
<Alt> key combinations are created by sending the combination ^[} followed by the
character to be <Alt> modified. Once this Alt key combination is sent, the next keystroke sent
is translated into its <Alt>-key mapping. In other words, if is mapped to <Shift><F1>,
then pressing <Shift><F1> followed by ^[} sends <Alt><a> to the server.
The remote terminal can force a refresh of its video by sending ^[}.
