VT Keyboard Mapping

The Keyboard Options property sheet is used to map BlueZone VT program functions to key sequences on the keyboard.

From the BlueZone VT MenuBar, select Options: Keyboard or press the Keyboard icon found on the ToolBar.  The Keyboard Options property sheet will display a bitmap image of a keyboard.


Key Mappings Tab

The Here is an example of the BlueZone Keyboard bitmap image.

Gray Keys

Gray keys can be mapped.  If you place the mouse pointer over a gray key and left click, a light yellow box will appear with the mappings of that particular key and also any combination key mappings that this key is used in.

The following illustration shows all Key Mappings associated with the Page Down (PgDn) key.

Red Keys

Red keys cannot be used to map BlueZone VT Functions.  The red keys include the Caps Lock, Print Screen and Num Lock keys.

Yellow Keys

Yellow keys are caution keys.  Care should be taken when using the yellow keys to map BlueZone VT Functions.  The caution keys include the Alt keys and the Esc key.  Windows uses the Alt keys with menu accelerators and the Esc key is mapped to Esc.


Options ----

NOTE  Only macro files from the BlueZone program directory will be listed for selection.

NOTE  Only script files from the BlueZone program directory will be listed for selection.

NOTE  Functions can be mapped to more than one key.


Escape Sequences Tab

VT Functions ----

The VT Functions group is used to set or reset an ASCII escape sequence for any VT function.


Additional Options Tab

Send Backspace as ----

There are two choices for the "behavior" of the Backspace Key.


Bell ----

You have the choice of whether or not you want to enable the warning bell.


Mouse Options Tab

Options ----

NOTE  This feature may no work with all host types.  Generally speaking, when connected to a host session, if you can move the position of the cursor with your arrow keys then this feature will most likely work.  Some hosts unfortunately, will not support this functionality.
