Customizing 3270 Emulation
Customizing Key Definitions
Step 1. In the Key Group list box, highlight the key group that includes the
function.
Step 2. In the Function column, select the function. If multiple keystrokes are
assigned to this function, you can select any of the entries for the
function.
Step 3. Choose <Add>. The dialog box shown in Figure 6-21, “Adding Definition
for n Dialog Box,” is displayed. This dialog box prompts you to press the
new key combination that you want to add to the function.
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.
If the keystroke you choose is already assigned to this 3270 function, a
pop-up message informs you of this. Choose <OK> to acknowledge the
message; no change is made to your key mappings.
If the keystroke you choose is already assigned to another 3270 function,
you are given the choice of adding the keystroke (removing it from the
other 3270 function) or abandoning the addition. The dialog for this is
similar to the equivalent dialog for redefining a key combination. (See
the figure “New Key Combination in Use but Function Defined
Differently Dialog Box”.)
Otherwise, the keystroke is added to the function and you are returned
to the View and Define Key Definitions dialog box.
