action=KP_Enter
However, because the action= is unchanged, KP_Enter is still sent to the host.
Adding a New Key
To add one of the keys listed in Table 12 Key Mnemonics Supported by MCC
Software to the available softkeys, edit the relevant .bank file to include the
required key mnemonic and the label for the key. For example, to add a caret
(circumflex) key to the VT100 keypad softkeys, make the following entry in the
keypad.bank file:
[key]
location=2,6
label=^
action=Caret
The key location selected must be unique, and is typically the next unused
location.
Example Softkey Files
For each softkey “keyboard” layout, several softkey files are necessary, including
a main definition file and one or more files defining available keys.
Each [key] section in a .bank file defines the label or symbol on a key in the Soft
Keys window, and the corresponding action that is sent when the key is selected
in keypad or non-keypad mode.
Example of Main (.kbrd) Softkey File
An example of a main softkey file is shown below, in this case the default file for
VT100 called vt100.kbrd.
Note that this file points to three .bank files that define the operation of the
function keys, arrow keys, and numeric keypad respectively.
[bank function]
keys=config/softkeys/vt100_function.bank
top=form
left=form
right=form
[bank arrows]
keys=config/softkeys/vt100_arrows.bank
top=function
left=form
#right=form
bottom=form
[bank keypad]
keys=config/softkeys/vt100_keypad.bank
