APPENDIX → TN3270 Key-Mappings

This article describes a function or feature of the software ZOC Terminal. The feature or element of the software described here is 'TN3270 Key-Mappings'. ZOC Terminal is a professional terminal emulator that is well known for its extensive features, security, user friendlyness, wide range of emulations and quality of emulation implementation. ZOC Terminal is a common choice to replace other terminal emulators like Putty, Kitty, Termius, Secure-CRT, Attachmate Extra!and others.

The list of keys below shows how the emulation's keys are mapped to your local keyboard. This happens automatically when you choose to use the emulation for a connection and is subject to some configuration options of the TN3270 emulation via Options→Session Profile→Emulation→TN3270.

However, any of these keys can also be mapped to any other key-combination on the local keyboard via the Options→Keyboard Profiles. They can also be mapped to user-defined clickable screen buttons via Options→Session Profile→User Buttons. Both functions use names for the keys listed in the table of emulation dependent key names.

The mappings below perform functions which are not found on an original TN3270 terminal but which may be especially useful in the context of a terminal emulator, e.g. ZOC offers an undo function like in a local editor or in a text processing program.

^[1] The functions of Return and Shift+Return (also Alt+Return) can be swapped in the settings of the TN3270 emulation via Options→Session Profile→Emulation→TN3270. The combination Cmd+[Return] (macOS only) is unaffected by the swap option there.
