Defining Keyboard Settings

The keyboard settings used for the connection are configured using the Keyboard page of the Settings dialog. Keyboard mappings take effect when you start a new connection or reset the terminal.

Figure : The Keyboard page of the Settings dialog

• User Defined Keymap File

  With this option you can create additional keyboard shortcuts or modify the existing ones. The additional key mappings are saved into a separate file with the .sshmap file extension. The current keymap file is displayed in the text field.

  You can modify the current key mappings by clicking Edit to open the Keymap Editor dialog. For more information on using the Keymap Editor, see Section Using Keymap Editor.

  If you have defined an alternative keymap settings file, you can load it by typing the path and file name in the text field, or by clicking on the button on the right-hand side of the text field. Clicking the button will open an Open dialog that allows you to locate an alternative keymap file.
