6.   Remote Console Button Keys  

The button keys allow simulating keystrokes on the remote system that cannot 

be generated locally. This might be necessary if there is a key missing or if the 

local operating system of the Remote Console is unconditionally catching a 

keystroke. Typical examples are “Control+Alt+Delete” on Windows and DOS, 

which are always caught, or the key sequence “Control+Backspace” on Linux, 

which can be used for terminating the X server. In order to define a new button 

key, or to adjust an existing one, refer to the rules that describe the setting for a 

key. In general, the syntax for a key is as follows:

 

 A term in brackets is optional. The star at the end means that you must add 

further keys as often as required for your case. The term “confirm” adds a 

confirmation dialogue that is displayed before the keystrokes can be sent to 

the remote host. The “keycode” is the key to be sent. Multiple key codes can 

be concatenated with a plus, a minus, or a “<” sign. The plus sign builds key 

combinations—all the keys will be pressed until a minus sign or the end of the 

combination is encountered. In such a case, all pressed keys will be released in 

reversed sequence. So, the minus sign builds single, separate key presses and 

key releases. The “<” sign releases the last key only. The star inserts a pause 

with a duration of 100 milliseconds. As an example, the key combination of 

Ctrl, Alt, and F2 is represented by the sequence “Ctrl+Alt+F2”.
