Custom Function Editor

The Custom Function Editor allows you to define and maintain custom functions without having to edit HTML and JavaScript files. Using the Custom Function Editor, you can add or delete a custom function. You can then go to the Keyboard Remap dialog, choose Custom Functions from the Category list, and your defined custom functions appear in the list available for remapping. You can also assign a toolbar button to a custom function from the Keystroke page of the Customize Toolbar dialog.

To add a custom function:

  1. Start from a host session window by doing one of the following:
  2. The Custom Function Editor is displayed.
  3. Click Add to display the Add a Custom Function dialog.
  4. Enter a name and data for the custom function (for example, you can automate a logout by entering Logout in the Name field and logout[enter] in the Data field).

    The Name value displays in the Keyboard Remap and Customize Toolbar function list box. The Data value is what the emulator processes when the remapped key or toolbar button is pressed.

    See below for more information on the Data value.

  5. Click OK.
  6. After you have successfully assigned all the custom functions, click OK. All data is stored, and your defined custom functions appears in the Custom Functions Category list on the Keyboard Remap and Customize Toolbar dialogs.

To delete a custom function:

  1. Start from a host session window by doing one of the following:
  2. The Custom Function Editor dialog is displayed.
  3. Select a custom function from the Custom Function list, and select Delete. A Confirm Deletion dialog will appear.
  4. Click OK.
  5. After you have successfully deleted all the custom functions you want, click OK. All data is saved, and your selected custom functions are deleted from the Custom Functions Category list on the Keyboard Remap and Customize Toolbar dialogs.

To Edit a custom function:

  1. Start from a host session window by doing one of the following:
  2. The Custom Function Editor dialog is displayed
  3. Select a custom function from the Custom Function dialog, and click Edit. The Edit Custom Function Dialog Box is displayed.
  4. Make the required modifications, and click OK.
  5. After you have successfully edited one or more custom functions, click OK. All modified data is saved, and your selected custom functions are saved from the Custom Functions Category list on the Keyboard Remap and Customize Toolbar dialogs.

There are three rules to keep in mind when specifying the Data value.
