Using Attention Key Sequences
You can use attention key sequences in Remote Console mode to maximize
ANSI terminal emulation functionality. Integrated Remote Console (IRC)
provides a mechanism to enter complicated key sequences otherwise
unavailable from a standard ANSI terminal emulation program. This
mechanism consists of key sequences where you press a configurable “attention
key” followed by a standard ANSI key.
The attention key is actually a combination of key strokes (usually two) that
alerts the server that a command is about to follow. IRC lets you define the
attention key, or you can use the default selection Ctrl + A.
Attention key sequences are used to perform three types of functions:
■ Attention Key Command Sequences
■ Attention Key Support Sequences
■ Attention Key Compose Sequences
Each of the items is described in detail in the following sections.
