Hotspots

A hotspot facility is provided which enables you to invoke a function by clicking on a
keyword displayed on the screen. For example, an application may display information
relating to keys you can press to perform a particular function. Instead of pressing the
key on the keyboard, you could invoke the function by holding down the Control key
and clicking the mouse pointer on the key name on the display (assuming default
mouse configuration).
Hotspots are supported in ALL terminal emulation modes. A set of default keywords is
provided for each mode. These keywords relate to key functions specific to the
emulation. For example, in VT500 mode you can tap on the word Help displayed on
the screen and the emulator will execute the function associated with the Help key.
You can identify hotspots that are currently present in display memory by assigning
the Show Hotspots function to a key + mouse button combination using the Mouse
Button Actions dialog box (refer to the Mouse Functions chapter for details). Holding
down the relevant key and left mouse button will cause all colour attributes to be
temporarily removed from the display and the hotspots will be highlighted with a red
background. Releasing the key and left mouse button will return the display to its
original state.
