Default shortcut keys

To access functions that are often used, the following default shortcut keys are available.

Because menu items and shortcut keys can be remapped using the Keyboard Remap function, shortcut keys might be different than what is listed here.

Function Shortcut key
JumpNext Ctrl+J
Print Screen Ctrl+P
Exit Ctrl+Q
Cut Ctrl+X
Copy Ctrl+C
Paste Ctrl+V
Select All Ctrl+A
Send File to Host Ctrl+S
Receive File from Host Ctrl+R
Play Macro Ctrl+M
Run Applet Ctrl+U
Index Ctrl+H


Ctrl-key values are sent to the host in VT sessions, not to the session. The default values for the menu functions have been removed from VT sessions, so that the appropriate values are sent to the host. You can use the Keyboard Remap function to map these menu functions to other keys.

Shortcut keys for submenu items

In previous versions, Host On-Demand provided keyboard shortcuts using the Alt key for only the main menu items, such as File, Edit, View, Communication, Actions and Help. With this enhancement, keyboard shortcuts using Alt key combinations are provided to invoke the submenu items under the above-mentioned main menu items. The appropriate key to use in combination with the Alt key will be highlighted by an underline. This enhancement will apply to the menu items available in 3270, 5250, VT display sessions and in FTP sessions.
