Vertical Coupling

Factory default: Selected

The setting of this VT420 mode option determines what happens when the application moves the cursor to a line not currently displayed in the window when the number of displayed lines is less than the page size. When selected, the display will automatically scroll vertically to keep the cursor in view. When unselected, the display will remain static and the cursor will move off-screen to the relevant line stored in memory. You can scroll the display to view the lines stored off-screen by holding down the Ctrl key and pressing the Up or Down Cursor keys.

Horizontal Coupling

Factory default: Unselected

The setting of this DEC VT mode option determines what happens when the cursor moves beyond the last column displayed in the window when there are more columns stored off-screen. When selected, the display will automatically scroll horizontally to keep the cursor in view. When unselected, the display will remain static and the cursor will move off-screen. To scroll horizontally to view the hidden columns, hold down the Ctrl key and press the Left or Right Cursor keys.

Page Coupling

Factory default: Selected

The setting of this VT420 mode option determines the effect of a remote command to move the cursor to another page. When selected, the page to which the cursor is moved is automatically displayed.
