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.
The Here is an example of the BlueZone Keyboard bitmap image.
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 cannot be used to map BlueZone VT Functions. The red keys include the Caps Lock, Print Screen and Num Lock 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.
