HP Terminals | |
HP-family terminals display function key labels,
also called softkey labels, at the bottom of the window. These labels
vary depending on the type of window being displayed, but the functions
of the F1-F4 keys are consistent.
These four keys function as follows: Table E-2 HP Terminal Function Keys | Function | Key |
|---|
| Context-sensitive Help | F1 | | ALT (a modifier
key) | F2 | | Select/Deselect | F3 | | Menu bar on/off | F4 |
Some of the advanced actions in the following
table require a key-combination by pressing the Alt key (F2), releasing it, and then pressing another
key. For example, selecting all items in a list requires first pressing F2, releasing it, and then pressing /. Table E-3 Advanced Actions | Action | Key Combination |
|---|
| Scroll a list left one page. | Prev | | Scroll a list right one page. | Next | | Select (highlight) all items in
a list. | F2, then / on the main keyboard | | Deselect all items in a list. | F2, then \ on
the main keyboard | | Open a menu on the menu bar by
using the mnemonic (underlined) letter | F2, then the mnemonic (underlined) letter | | Press a button if the cursor is
not resting on it. | F2,
then the mnemonic (underlined) letter |
| | | |  | TIP: To quickly save changes to a file system on the File System tab when using an HP terminal, press F2 followed by the letter m. You save time
and effort using this method since you do not have to navigate to
the Modify button then press it. | | | | |
vt100 Terminals | |
Typically the vt100 family keyboards use the same
row of keys immediately above the numeric key pad as function keys.
These keys may be labeled [PF1] -[PF4], but in some cases may be labeled *, /, +, and -. On some HP workstation
(and HP 700 series terminals) keyboards, these keys may be four unlabeled
keys above the keypad. If this is the case, [PF1] is the left unlabeled most key and [PF4] the right
most key. If you are unsure where the [PF1] - [PF4] keys are located on your keyboard, HP recommends
the following: Consult the hardware documentation
for your terminal to determine the keys that correspond to the [PF1] - [PF4] keys. If you are using a PC
terminal emulator, consult the emulator application documentation
to determine how the [PF1] - [PF4] keys have been mapped to your PC keyboard; it is possible that no
mappings exist. Typically, the [PF1] - [PF4] keys are mapped to the keys above the key pad on your PC keyboard.
These four keys function as follows: Table E-4 Function Keys | Function | Key |
|---|
| ALT (a modifier
key) | PF1 | | Context-sensitive Help | PF2 | | Menu bar (to/from) | PF3 | | Escape to Shell | PF4 |
Some of the advanced keyboard actions in the following
table require a key-combination using the PF1 key.
In other words, you must first press the PF1 key,
release it, and then press some other key. For example, to scroll
a list one page requires you must press PF1, release
it, and then press either the 2, 4, 6, or 8 keys on the numeric keypad. The advanced keyboard actions for a vt100 are
as follows: Table E-5 Advanced Keyboard Actions | Action | Key Combination |
|---|
| Scroll a list up one page. | PF1, then 8 on
the numeric keypad | | Scroll a list down one page. | PF1, then 2 on
the numeric keypad | | Scroll a list left one page. | PF1, then 4 on
the numeric keypad | | Scroll a list right one page. | PF1, then 6 on
the numeric keypad | | Select all items in a list. | PF1, then / on
the main keyboard | | Deselect a list item. | PF1, then \ on the main
keyboard | | Select a range of list items. | PF1, then . on the first item; move the cursor; PF1, then . on the last item | | Press a button if the cursor is
not resting on it. | PF1,
then the mnemonic (underlined) letter |
