Keyboard mapping
The graphical user interface to keyboard mapping provides both an extremely fast way of checking on which
key combination a function can be found, and a powerful tool for customizing the keyboard for an individual
user, group of users, or specific legacy application.
The physical layout is obtained
from the keyboard driver, and thus
adjusts itself to the national
keyboard you are using. In this
case a Norwegian keyboard. Note
the ÆØÅ, the composing keys for
accented characters, and that the
right Alt key is an Alt Gr shift that
selects the alternate graphic on the
key tops.
You can save your custom
keyboard layouts with logical
names, and load one on start-up,
or as needed. Saved layouts can
be shared with other users. A
range of industry standard layouts
is included for your convenience.
Open the function tree in the Function pane to access any function of the emulator. You can see immediately
if the function is available from the keyboard by the checkmark.
In the Keyboard mappings pane you can see the key
combinations to which it is already assigned.
The function you have selected can now be dragged from
the Function pane and dropped onto any key combination
in the Keyboard pane. The ‘Centre text’ function in Glink’s
3270 emulation is by default on ‘Left Alt+C’, but you could
drag it from the function tree and, while holding down the
Control key, drop it on the ‘M’ key in the keyboard pane.
This would assign
the function to
Ctrl+M, which might
make more sense to
you if you speak
Norwegian and
‘centre’ is ‘midtstille’.
Vice versa, you could begin by selecting a keyboard combination, by simply clicking the control key and the
target key. The present function of the key combination is displayed in the Keyboard mappings pane.
Because ‘Centre text’ is selected in the function
tree it is offered for mapping by the ‘Map key to’
button. Clicking the button will map the function.

Could keyboard configuration be easier or more
elegant?
