5-6 Using Attention Key Sequences
Example: Entering Alt + P
For example, if you needed to enter a command such as Alt + P on the managed server:
1.Enter the attention key. In this example the attention key is set to its default: Ctrl+A. Press both the Ctrl and the A keys down simultaneously. Release both keys, making sure to release the Ctrl key last.
2.Enter the command to press and hold the Alt key on the managed server’s keyboard. This command key is X.
3.Press P.
Steps 1 and 2 signal IRC that you wish to compose a key sequence on the managed server’s keyboard with the Alt key pressed down. Pressing the P key in step 3 completes your key sequence. IRC generates an Alt+P on the managed server keyboard.
If you performed steps 1 and 2 above but then decided that you did not want to continue with the intended command, you could abort the key sequence and release the Alt key by entering the sequence clear command:
1.Enter the attention key. In this example the attention key is set to its default: Ctrl+A. Press both the Ctrl and the A keys down simultaneously. Release both keys, making sure to release the Ctrl key last.
2.Press Backspace.
The [Atn] Backspace sequence cancels the Alt key flag that was set by pressing [Atn] X.
