Key Remap

Host On-Demand users can map a single key or a key combined with Shift, Ctrl, or Alt to some action in session configuration. The action can be to display a character, to execute a host function and so on.

The above mapping can now be used by HOD Hex Client users. If user types the sequence of mapped keystrokes, it performs the mapped action.

Key remap supports Macros Functions, and is also editable. HOD Hex Client users can use theKey Remap editor capabilitytoassign or unassign a key to a function or reset the key to its default assignment.

Note:
Browser default keys cannot be assigned as a Key Remap.

Custom function KeyRemap

HOD Hex Client allows users to add, update, and delete a custom function for keyremap, where a user can map any key to that user-defined custom function. The custom data can be a combination of mnemonic keyword along with a string (for example, logout[enter]). User can also give Unicode encoding, for example, unicode: \u0028 for the special character ‘(‘.

    • The user can define name and data for the custom function and then map a key to that function.
    • The data is processed when the mapped key is pressed.
  2. Update:
    • Click the row of a specific custom function to view and update the name and data in their appropriate input fields for that function.
    • The user is not allowed to give duplicate name and data for a custom function.
  3. Delete:
    • The user can delete a custom function by selecting that specific function.

For Unicode encoding in custom function, only the following are supported:

a) Alphabets: A-Z, a-z
