Entering Control Characters - Neoware c50 - Thin Client User Manual

Hotspots
The function that will be performed when the keyword is selected is specified in the
same way as for key macros, soft buttons and script language programming.

Entering Control Characters

You can enter a control character in a keyword definition either as the control key
character equivalent or the decimal value of the ASCII character.
For example, the control character for the Return key function, CR (carriage return),
can be entered by typing the characters ^ and M, representing the keys Ctrl + M
which, when pressed together would generate the CR code. This could be used to
define the keyword Login to enable you to log on to a host:
Login=hostname^M
Decimal values are entered as three-digit numbers immediately preceded by an
underscore character. Values with only two digits must be preceded by a zero. For
example, the decimal value of CR is 13, so this would be entered as _013.
Refer to the ASCII character table in the Character Sets appendix in the Program-
mer's Guide for code and decimal references.
Key Combinations & Sequences
You can define a keyword to perform the function of a particular key, a combination
of keys, or a sequence of keys. For example, you can define a keyword to perform
the same function as pressing the key F4, or pressing the keys Alt + F4 together, or
pressing the keys F2 then F3 then F4. Keys are identified by their virtual key names
as listed in the Virtual Key Names appendix. You may omit the VK_, VT_ (etc.)
parts of the name.
To define a keyword so that it will perform the function of a particular key, type the <
character followed by the virtual key name then the > character. For example, to
define the keyword Insert so that it will perform the same function as the Insert key
found on the DEC VT320 keyboard, enter the following line in the relevant Defini-
tions command group:
Insert=<VT_INSERT>
To define a keyword so that it will perform the same function as pressing two or more
other keys together, type the < character followed by the virtual key names linked
together with + characters and ending with the > character.
For example, to define the keyword Help so that when it is clicked it performs the
same function as pressing the keys Alt + F4 together, enter the following line in the
relevant Definitions command group:
Help=<ALT+F4>
