                                 Redefining Keyboard Shortcuts (Hot Keys)

 

 

Predefined keyboard shortcuts (also called hot keys) allow users to do the 
following:

•

Perform common actions while connected through a KVM port

•

Emulate Sun keyboard keys while connected through a KVM port to a Sun 
server.

If desired, the KVM/net administrator can redefine the default hot keys either 
through the Web Manager or the OSD.

The hot key sequences used while connected to KVM ports have two parts, 
which are called the common escape sequence and the command key. The 
default common escape sequence is 

Ctrl+k

, and the command key is 

different for each command. For example, the 

q

 command key is entered after 

Ctrl+k

 to quit the login session as shown here: 

Ctrl+k

 

q

. See “Hot Keys for 

KVM Connections” on page 329 for the defaults. Under Configure>KVM in 
the Web Manager, the common escape sequence is defined separately from 
the command keys. The KVM/net administrator can redefine two different 
sets of command keys for users accessing KVM ports through the OSD (User 
1 or User 2) and another set for connections made through the Web Manager.

The KVM/net provides a default set of hot keys for use while connected to 
Sun servers through KVM ports to emulate keys that are present on Sun 
keyboards but are not present on Windows keyboards. The hot keys are made 
up of a modifier key followed by a function key. See “Redefining Sun 
Keyboard Modifier Keys” on page 175 for more details. The default modifier 
key is the Windows 

[WIN]

 key, which is labeled with the Windows logo. 

KVM/net administrators can redefine the default 

[WIN]

 modifier key to 

[

Ctrl], [Shift],

or

 [Alt].
