Definition and Description of a Keyboard Map3278 Keyboards

Because the IBM 3278 keyboard differs greatly from those on ASCII terminals, TN3270 provides keyboard maps. A keyboard map assigns the functions on the IBM 3270 keyboards to keys or key sequences on the ASCII terminals. For example, Ctrl/ Z on an ASCII keyboard by default maps to the IBM 3270 EXIT function when you use the VT100 keyboard map.

Server-Specific Keyboard Maps

You can have server-wide keyboard maps that all server ports can access, or you can set them up on a port-by-port basis. For information on displaying and customizing keyboard maps, refer to Displaying and Customizing Keyboard Maps in this chapter.
