How to map keys

You can create keyboard shortcuts that perform any assignable action during a session. The View Keyboard Map option on the left panel provides a view of the default keyboard map for each host type and the mapped custom keys for that session.

HINT:Browsers use keyboard shortcuts to save both time and mouse clicks. When mapping keystrokes it is important to keep this in mind. For example, Cntrl+F1 opens Internet Explorer help as well as the UTS control page. Handy Keyboard Shortcuts gives a brief overview of the keyboard shortcuts used by different browsers.

  1. Open the Manage Key Mappings panel.

  2. Under Key, click to add the key or key combination you want to use to trigger the assigned action in the Key field.

  3. From the Mapped To drop down box, select the action you want to associate with the key selection.

  4. Click the blue check mark to complete the association and add the key map to the session.

  5. Click to close the Key Mapping panel and resume configuring your host connection. Click Connect to save the configuration.

After you complete mapping keys for the session, click View Keyboard Map on the left panel to reference the updated map that includes the boldface custom key mappings. Click the column header to sort the list by Key or Mapped to action.

Different key stroke combinations are also used for copy/paste operations. For example, on a VT host screen, CTL+ Shift + A initiates a Select All action. See How to specify copy and paste options for a list of copy/paste key actions.
