Parameters
character: Shortcut key for starting a terminal session, which specifies a single character or its
corresponding ASCII code value that ranges from 0 to 127. If you enter a string of 1 to 3 characters. only
the first character functions as the shortcut key. For example, if you enter an ASCII code value of 97, the
system uses its corresponding character a as the shortcut key. If you enter string b@c, the system uses the
first character b as the shortcut key.
Description
Use activation-key to define a shortcut key for starting a terminal session.
Use undo activation-key to restore the default.
By default, pressing the Enter key starts a terminal session. However, if a new shortcut key is defined by
the activation-key command, the Enter key no longer functions. To display the shortcut key you have
defined, use the display current-configuration | include activation-key command.
