The key-repeat function on Host On-Demand will not operate on machines using Linux or AIX. Consequently, you cannot map a key as "non-repeating" on a Linux or an AIX machine.

Specifying a key as repeating or non-repeating

Before you make any changes, all keys except for Ctrl, Alt, and Shift are set to repeat when you press them and keep them pressed. In other words, they continue to generate letters or numbers automatically if you press them and do not release them immediately. With this feature, you can specify whether a key repeats or not when you press it.

To change a key so that it does not repeat, complete the following:

1. Click Edit > Preference > Keyboard, or click the Remap button on the toolbar.
2. Click the Key Repetition tab.
3. Click Add a Key.
4. Press the key you want to change.
   
   

   The Ctrl, Alt, and Shift keys do not repeat and cannot be added to the list.

   
   
5. Click OK.
   
   The key will then appear in the Non-repeating key box.
   

1. In the Non-repeating keys box, click the key you want to change.
2. Click Remove Key.
3. Click OK.

   The key will no longer appear in the Non-repeating key box.
