Customizing 3270 Emulation
Customizing Key Definitions
Choose this to abandon any changes you make to key
definitions.
Each 3270 function can be represented by one or more keys or key
combinations on your terminal. You can change these either by
redefining (replacing an existing keystroke with a new one) or by adding
a new keystroke (leaving any existing ones unchanged). For information
about adding a new keystroke, see “Adding a Keystroke to a 3270
Function”.
Redefining a Keystroke Used for a 3270
Function
To redefine a keystroke used for a 3270 function (replacing an existing
keystroke), start from the View and Define Key Definitions dialog box,
and use the following procedure:
Step 1. In the Key Group list box, highlight the key group that includes the
function to be remapped.
Step 2. In the Function column, select the function to be redefined. If this
function has multiple keystrokes assigned to it, select the entry
corresponding to the keystroke that you want to replace.
Step 3. Choose <Redefine>. The dialog box shown in Figure 6-17, “Redefining
Key n Dialog Box,” is displayed. This dialog box prompts you to press the
key combination that you want to assign to the function you are
redefining.
Step 4. Press the key combination on your terminal's keyboard that you want to
correspond to the 3270 function. You can use a single key, or a single key
with either Shift or Ctrl. You can also use one or two Esc keystrokes,
followed by a single key or a single key with either Shift or Ctrl.
If you are using one or two Esc keystrokes followed by a character key
with or without Shift, only the following character keys are available:
E G N O W X Y Z
If your terminal uses xon()/xoff() flow control, that flow control protocol
uses the key combinations Ctrl + Q and Ctrl + S, and you cannot use them
for key mappings.
Alternatively, choose the key or combination currently mapped to the
function to retain that mapping.
