Special Keystrokes

As well as the keystrokes previously described, there are several other keystrokes for controlling the VT100 interface. These keystrokes allow you to move the cursor around the screen, enter information and move from one screen to another:

[Tab]

Moves the cursor from one field to

 

the next.

[Ctrl]+[B]

Moves the cursor to the next button.

When you have finished entering or changing data, [Ctrl]+[B] is very useful for skipping over the remaining fields.

[Ctrl]+[P]

Returns you to the previous screen

 

without actioning any inputs.

[Ctrl]+[R]

Refreshes the screen.

[Ctrl]+[K]

Displays a list of the possible

 

keystrokes.

VT100 User Interface

5-3

If you are using Telnet or a terminal emulation program, you may find that some control keys do not operate, or that they activate other functions. The Windows terminal emulator uses [Ctrl]+[H] as backwards deletion, whereas others use it for backward cursor movement. Consult the manual accompanying your Telnet or terminal emulation software before using the control keys.
