Keyboard Macros

Keyboard macros ensure that keystroke combinations intended for the
target server are sent to and interpreted only by the target server.
Otherwise, they might be interpreted by the computer on which the
Virtual KVM Client (VKC) is running (your client PC).
Macros are stored on the client PC and are PC-specific. Therefore, if you
use another PC, you cannot see your macros.
In addition, if another person uses your PC and logs in under a different
name, that user will see your macros since they are computer-wide.
Keyboard macros created in Virtual KVM Client (VKC) cannot be used in
Active KVM Client (AKC) or vice versa.
Build a New Macro
To build a macro:
1. Click Keyboard > Keyboard Macros. The Keyboard Macros dialog
appears.
2. Click Add. The Add Keyboard Macro dialog appears.
3. Type a name for the macro in the Keyboard Macro Name field. This
name appears in the Keyboard menu after it is created.
4. From the Hot-Key Combination field, select a keyboard combination
from the drop-down list. This allows you to execute the macro with a
predefined keystroke. Optional
5. In the Keys to Press drop-down list, select each key you would like to
use to emulate the keystrokes that is used to perform the command.
Select the keys in the order by which they are to be pressed. After
each selection, select Add Key. As each key is selected, it appears
in the Macro Sequence field and a Release Key command is
automatically added after each selection.
For example, create a macro to close a window by selecting Left Ctrl
+ Esc. This appears in the Macro Sequence box as follows:
Press Left Alt
Press F4
Esc
Release F4
Esc
Release Left Alt
6. Review the Macro Sequence field to be sure the macro sequence is
defined correctly.
