Create a Custom Keyboard Map
Host terminal and PC keyboards have different sets of keys; for example, many terminal keyboards have a Transmit key, but PC keyboards do not. Reflection pre-configures each session document with a built-in "keyboard map," substituting a PC key (or combination of keys) for the terminal function, so that a PC can communicate with a host in the same way as a terminal. You can create a custom keyboard map by adding, removing, or redefining keystroke combinations from an existing keyboard map.
To create a custom keyboard map
Open the Document Settings dialog box.- In the Settings dialog box, under Input Devices, click Manage Keyboard Map.
- In the Manage Keyboard Map dialog box, click Create a new keyboard map from an existing keyboard map file.
- In the Create a New Keyboard Map file dialog box, select a keyboard map file to use as a template for your new file (for example, Default 3270.xkb).
- If you want to use the new keyboard map file in your current session, choose Use the new file in the current session document.
- Click OK.
- Do one of the following:
