Keyboard Macros

This dialog box is displayed by selecting Keyboard Macros in the Settings menu.
Key Expansion Enabled
Factory default: Selected
This option specifies whether programmed keys on the keyboard can be expanded (i.e.
transmit their programmed contents to the host) when pressed. When selected, a pro-
grammed key will send its programmed string instead of its normal character.
Key Expansion Character
Factory default: ^P (i.e. DLE)
The key execute character is a special toggle character that can be inserted into key
macro strings to cause subsequent characters to be redirected from the host to the ter-
minal and vice versa. By default all characters in the macro are directed to the host.
When a key expansion character is detected for the first time, characters will be
redirected to the terminal until the character is detected a second time in the current or
another string.
