| List of Options for the VT/ANSI/Linux/Xterm Emulations |
Below is a list of non trivial options, which in some or multiple emulations from the VT/Xterm/Linux/ANSI family (options which should be obvious or self-explanatory were omitted).
| Options |
| Codepage, UTF8, NRC | |
The character encoding is selected in the options of the respective emulation,
for example by changing the codepage, the UTF8 option, the national character
set (NRC), etc.
| |
| Use Alt as Meta key | |
Some Unix applications (like Emacs or MC) are using the Alt-Key combinations to access special functions. Enabling this option makes Alt+Letter and Alt+Digit combinations send the pressed key prefixed by an ESC character.
Note: When you enable this option, you will not be able to access ZOC's
menu shortcuts.
| |
| Map PF1-PF4 to top row on keypad | |
The original DEC terminals had the PF1 to PF4 keys located above the
numeric keypad. With this option ZOC uses the key pad's Num, /, * and -
keys as PF1 - PF4.
| |
| Send navigation keys with Alt/Shift/Ctrl qualifiers | |
This option affects the Xterm emulation and the keys Home, End, Ins, Del,
Page-Up, Page-Down and the cursor keys. When the option is active, these keys
will be sent to the remote host if they are pressed in combination with Alt,
Ctrl and/or Shift. However, if the option is active, this will override some
shortcuts within the ZOC menu (e.g. Ctrl+Page-Down for Download).
| |
| Disable xterm Extensions | |
xterm adds a range of control codes to perform specific operations not
native to the original VT-emulation (e.g. changing the program title
or certain display features). ZOC VT-emulations support these,
but allows you to disable them.
| |
| Disable ANSI-like Colors | |
The original VT emulations were monochrome and did not support colors.
ZOC VT emulations support color with control codes, which were
borrowed from the ANSI terminals. If necessary these can be disabled.
| |
| Disable application keypad mode | |
In VT102 mode the numeric key pad is used as a replacement for VT102 auxiliary keypad (see VT102-keyboard). This can be problematic if you are using the cursor keys in the numeric keypad instead of the gray cursor keys. Enable this option, if you want to use the cursor keys in the numeric keypad and if your remote application does not use the VT102 keypad.
See VT Keyboard for a description of the keypad.

| Backspace key sends ^H instead of ^?/7Fh | |
Xterm, and the advanced settings of VT220, VT420 and VT520, offer
Backspace key sends ^H instead of ^?/7Fh.
When enabled, the backspace key sends ^H (otherwise ^?/7Fh is sent).
The Del key remains unaffected.
| |
| Del key sends ^D (legacy unix, IBM-USS) | |
Xterm offers Del key sends ^D (legacy unix, IBM-USS).
This option causes the Del key to send Ctrl+D instead of ^?/7Fh. This is useful
on Unix systems like IBM USS (IBM z/OS UNIX System Services), which do not
have a default mapping for the Del key.
| |
| Swap Backspace key and Del key | |
VT100 and VT102 offer Swap Backspace key and Del key.
If you enable this option, a backspace (^H) is sent when the
Del (^?/7Fh) key is pressed and vice versa.
| |
| Destructive Backspace | |
ANSI BBS and AVATAR/0+ offer Destructive Backspace.
This option erases characters from the screen if a backspace is received.
Otherwise the cursor merely moves back one step.
| |
| Alternate F-keys (F-keys shifted to left) | |
Typically on hardware VT terminals, the F5 key has a local meaning and is not transmitted to the host. This option allows to shift all F-keys to the left, sending F5 as F6, F6 as F7 etc.. | |
