Title

Highlighting Text with Shift-Arrows

Product

PASSPORT PC to Host, PASSPORT Web to Host

Emulation Types

TN3270, TN5250, VT, SCO ANSI, Wyse 60

Issue

With my previous emulator I was able to highlight text on the screen using the Shift key in conjunction with the arrow keys. Is it possible to do this with PASSPORT?

Solution

Depending on which keyboard map was selected during configuration, the Shift-Arrow key combinations may not be mapped to the appropriate host keys. For example, if the EXTRA! keyboard map is selected, it does not have these keys mapped to anything. These mappings may be added to the existing keyboard map, or a new custom keyboard map may be created.
