Re: Keymapping etc. for RDi's built-in emulator

Thanks Brian - I had not thought to look at the key bindings. I was looking at Preferences - silly me!

As to the choices - yes we are aware off them and normally the client uses ACS. But it is a long story ... for the class they need to connect to a standard port 23 TelNet session and their stuff is locked down to SSl connections. So they tried the builtin emulator.

I may be wrong here Jon, but doesn't RDi ship with certain ACS components built in? If I right-click the OBJECTS subsystem, I get LAUNCH 5250 EMULATOR as well as HOST CONNECTION EMULATOR. (The ACS 5250 is much better than HCE 5250.)

Specifically, the HCE keyboard mapping is done through the same key binding Preferences as everything else. (PREFERENCES > GENERAL > KEYS.) There is a Category for Host Connection. (There are also a couple of specific preferences for HCE - left and right CTRL keys.)

Unfortunately, there's not much else you can customise for HCE, e.g. cursor style, colours, etc.

Then there's the iSphere 5250 Emulator plug-in - it has a lot more going for it than HCE. Is this an option for your client?

HTH,
Brian.

On a client site where they have not got ACS installed and are using the emulator built in to RDi. But nowhere can I find any preferences or anything that allows for keyboard mapping or even something as trivial as Sys Req.

Anyone know where the settings are and how to do things like Sys Req?
