Telnet break

[armitage318]

Hi,

I need to reconfigure "Ctrl" + "+" combination (now "enlarge font") to "send escape" in telnet.

I tried to configure through keymap editor Telnet_function -> TN_BREAK, but without success.

Any help?
Thank you !

Hi armitage318,

Have you then made sure the session is configured to use the keymap file? (in Terminal / Emulation category of Session Options).

You might try the preferred way of creating custom keymaps as shown in the attachment (Terminal / Emulation / Mapped Keys). This way there is not another *file* (.key) to manage.

Then, if needed, the same keymap can be applied to some or all sessions using these tips:

I am curious though, with all the possible keyboard combinations you could use, why you would choose to use one already performs other functionality. Is this a standard combination to send a "telnet break"?

Hi, thank you for your reply.

In italian layout, ] and + symbols are on same key!
I tried to define BREAK according to your suggestion, but without success.
I am stil unable to send "break" command during telnet session.
Thank you!

Hi armitage318,

Thanks for the info regarding the foreign language keyboard layout.

I have added this thread to a feature request in our product enhancement database to disable keyboard font zoom because it interferes with foreign keyboard layouts. Should a future release of SecureCRT include this feature, notification will be posted here.

If you prefer direct email notification, send an email to support@vandyke.com and include "Feature Request - Forum Thread #12137" in the subject line or use this form from the support page of our website.

Is there any other keyboard combination available you can use for the break?

Hi bgagnon,

yes I can use any other combination.
But at this point I'm not sure that "Telnet_function -> TN_BREAK" is my solution.
Ofter I access to Linux server through ssh, and then I run "telnet somehost 25" to make some test (eg. for test some mail server).
How can I send escape to detach this kind of session?
Thank you

Hi armitage318,

Thanks for the additional info. I received your email and there is a new build where the ability to enable/disable the built-in keyboard shortcut for zooming is available in the GUI. I can make that pre-release build available if you want.

However, you are right, the TN_BREAK/need for custom keymap is not likely the solution for this issue. See attached for info on how to resolve the actual issue described (as we understand it).
