Change VT Keyboard Map (CHGVTMAP)
The Change VT Keyboard Map (CHGVTMAP) command changes the keyboard mapping values to be used during a VT220 or VT100 TELNET server session. You can specify a maximum of four special values for each parameter. A special value cannot be used to specify more than one OS/400 function. Any parameter that is not specified when this command is run defaults to the current value.
The VT key values that can be specified for this command are:
*BACKSPC (Backspace)
*CSRDOWN (Cursor Down)
*CSRLEFT (Cursor Left)
*CSRRIGHT (Cursor Right)
*CSRUP (Cursor Up)
*CTLA-*CTLG (Control-A through Control-G)
*CTLK-*CTLL (Control-K through Control-L)
*CTLN-*CTLZ (Control-N through Control-Z)
*CTLBSL (Control-Backslash)
*CTLLBKT (Control-Left Bracket)
*CTLQST (Control-Question)
*CTLRBKT (Control-Right Bracket)
*CTLSPC (Control-Space)
*CTLTILDA (Control-Tilda)
*DLT (Delete)
*ESCA-*ESCZ (Escape-A through Escape-Z,
except for Escape-O)
*ESC0-*ESC9 (Escape-0 through Escape-9)
*ESCAMP (Escape-Ampersand)
*ESCAST (Escape-Asterisk)
*ESCAT (Escape-At)
*ESCCFX (Escape-Circumflex)
*ESCDLT (Escape-Delete)
*ESCDOLLAR (Escape-Dollar)
*ESCEQ (Escape-Equal)
*ESCEXCL (Escape-Exclamation)
*ESCLF (Escape-Line Feed)
*ESCLPAR (Escape-Left Parenthesis)
*ESCMINUS (Escape-Minus)
*ESCPCT (Escape-Percent)
*ESCPLUS (Escape-Plus)
*ESCPOUND (Escape-Pound)
*ESCQST (Escape-Question)
*ESCRPAR (Escape-Right Parenthesis)
*ESCTAB (Escape-Tab)
*ESCUS (Escape-Underscore)
*FIND (Find)
*F1-*F20 (F1 through F20)
*INS (Insert Here)
*LF (Line Feed)
*NXTSCR (Next Screen)
*PF1-*PF4 (PF1 through PF4)
*PRVSCR (Previous Screen)
*RETURN (Return)
*RMV (Remove)
*SELECT (Select)
*TAB (Tab)
Note: Some VT100 and VT220 TELNET systems use Control-S and Control-Q to control flow. This is generally referred to as XON/XOFF flow control. If you are using a client system that has XON/XOFF enabled, do not use *CTLS and *CTLQ in your keyboard mapping.
