Hi Mike01,

Is it really an escape sequence? Or is it a control sequence?

How do you use it? (ie: Are you pressing Ctrl+5, then c? Or you really hold all three keys at the same time?)

What does this combo do?

Hi Mike01,

You should be able to map the button to send this string: \135c. You can use \135c\r if an ENTER is also required to close the connection.

Hello Brenda,
unfortunately, that didn't work out.
Here's a picture of us on line four, where we're in the "root..."

from here I connect with "telnet localhost 21001" to the console. I want to close the console again to connect to another port.

In secureCRT using the keys Ctrl and Plus (/035) pressed = output Telnet, now C and Return.

Hi Mike01,

Sorry, I didn't mean to misinform you.

The ^] character is actually \035. You can see this in the Configuring the Keyboard / ASCII Control Codes topic in SecureCRT's Help file. There's a chart there with all the control codes.

So try \035c\r, or if you need to introduce a pause between \035\pc\r.

Hello, Brenda,

thanks for the support, the 2nd code worked.
(\035\pc\r)

Thanks
