character
CHANGE PORT PortList FORWARD SWITCH
NONE
Defines a key that will switch the user to the next session without entering local mode. In local mode, the key functions as if the Forward command was entered. Any key can be specified unless it conflicts with MSS line editing or the Break or Forward keys. The key you specify will be stripped from the data stream, so while it won’t interfere with remote operating systems, you will lose any functionality that key would have on local programs.
