User Keyboard

Keyboard

Click on Keyboard of the Default user or of a specific user to configure Keyboard settings.

Re-map ALT Key:

By default, CTRL-A has been mapped to act as the ALT key. Many applications require the ALT key and most terminals do not specify an ALT key. For example, when in EDIT.COM, to access the File Menu, instead of pressing ALT-F, press CTRL-A (release), then F to represent ALT-F. (When using Pragma Console Clients, this is not needed. All keys act as they would normally.)

Special Keyboard Characters:

Allow Control-C:

Turn this option off to block users from having the ability to press the CONTROL-C sequence and exit out of the running application. If a process needs to interpret the CONTROL-C, turn this option off.

Allow Control-G:

Turn this option off to block users from having the ability to press the CONTROL-G sequence. Control-G is the ANSI beep sequence and usually causes the server to beep. To send the beep to the client, see Beeping for more information on how to get the beep to pass to the client. The client must be able to interpret the 0x07 as a beep for the client to beep.

Echo Input Characters:

This checkbox specifies whether input characters should be echoed in a stream mode session. Input characters will be echoed, except for password characters, in stream mode sessions. Keep in mind that any program that accepts a password that is run in stream mode will echo the password. This is due to the fact that the data is just displayed. The server has no way of knowing that the data should not be echoed.

If you need to run a custom program in a stream mode session, and have a password be hidden, contact Pragma Systems for possible programming hints.

Process Input Lines:

Turn this off to send data as it is available in Stream Mode. Otherwise the data will be parsed by line feeds.
