The emulator keyboard is designed to be similar to a traditional emulator.  The alpha-numeric keys will follow the characters printed on your keyboard.  The other keys work as follows:

 

Key

TN3270 / TN5250 Action

VTxxx Action

Enter

Submit the current screen with ENTER as AID

In VT mode, will send text along with the CR (carriage return, ASCII 13)

F1..F12

Submit the current screen with PF1 through PF12 as AID

In VT mode, many F-keys have no meaning--very application dependent

Shift-F1..F12

Submit the current screen with PF13 through PF24 as AID

F-key 13-24

ESC

Send a CLEAR key

Sends the ESC key if in "send each keystroke mode"

CursorUp

Move the cursor in the emulator up one line

Send all pended keystrokes and the "cursor up" command to the host

CursorDown

 

Move the cursor in the emulator down one line

Send all pended keystrokes and the "cursor down" command to the host

CursorRight

 

Move the cursor in the emulator right one column

PageDown

 

Send the screen with the F7 key as the AID

Ctrl-s
