Keyboard mapping options

These options set the country or custom keyboard map for Pro and Java display sessions.

Web-to-Host supplies numerous country keyboard maps to accommodate the special characters and symbols used in various languages. You can deploy country keyboard maps in several ways. For example, you can:

• Standardize all the sessions on one country keyboard.
• Base the keyboard map on the client workstation's regional settings.
• Enable the user to specify their own keyboard mappings.

When configuring display profiles, the available keyboard mapping options vary, depending on the session profile type.

Pro display clients

When using the Session Configuration Manager to configure Pro AS/400, mainframe, UNIX, and HP display profiles, thee following options appear on the Keyboard Map and Auto Macro pages:

Keyboard Map

You can select a standard country keyboard map or specify a custom keyboard map (.map file) for the client session. For information on how to do this, see the Help. The default keyboard map is U.S.A.

Custom Keyboard Map

The default is blank.

Note: To enable users to specify their own Pro keyboard map files, which override the administrator-specified keyboard map, see the Session Configuration Manager Help on the Client Options page when configuring Pro display profiles.

Java display clients

When using the Session Configuration Manager to configure Java AS/400 and mainframe display profiles, the following options appear on the Keyboard Map and Auto Macro pages:

Custom Keyboard Map

The default Custom Keyboard Map value is blank, and the client session uses a standard country keyboard map based on the keyboard Locale. For details on specifying a custom keyboard map (.map file), see the online help for the appropriate page in the Session Configuration Manager.

Keyboard Locale

The keyboard locale determines some default keyboard mappings for the client session. The default value uses a standard country keyboard map based on the Client Locale setting.

When configuring Java UNIX display profiles, these options appear on the Keyboard Options page.

Note: To enable users to specify their own Java keyboard mappings, which override the administrator-specified keyboard map, see the Session Configuration Manager Help on the Client Options page for Java AS/400 display or Java mainframe display profiles or the Tool Options page for Java UNIX display profiles.
