Guide
If your keyboard is not behaving as expected or if you are unable to send the correct key or combination of keys to your host, consider the following:
- Your keyboard map may be incorrect. See Guide to Configuring FVTerm Keyboard mapping for more details. Note that your keyboard map may have been set by your administrator.
- The key or combination of keys you are trying to use may have been given an alternative meaning in your keyboard map. For example, the default for CTRL+C is to copy to the clipboard but some hosts require this combination to be sent to them. In such cases you will have to decide which meaning has priority and assign other meanings to different keys.
- If the keyboard map icon is not shown on your FVTerm status bar, then it may have been disabled by your administrator.
- If you are unable to send the right characters to your host, you may need to change the code page of your host. See Guide to Adding Host Definitions for more details.
