Win32 Cut, Copy, and Paste Hotkeys

Personal Communications includes two .KMP keyboard map files that map the standard Win32 hotkeys for Cut, Copy, and Paste to Ctrl+X, Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V, respectively. You can use these keyboard map files or add the key values to an existing map file.

For 5250 sessions, the .KMP file provided is pcswinkb5.kmp. The remapping is given in Win32 Keyboard Map Functions for a 5250 Layout.
