Hotspots are virtual buttons that appear in terminal sessions. By using hotspots, you can control your terminal session with the mouse instead of the keyboard. Typically, clicking a hotspot transmits a terminal key or command to the host, but you can also configure hotspots to open a Web page, launch a macro, or perform a variety of other actions.
From this dialog box, you can enable hotspots in your terminal session documents, or change the way you activate them.
NOTE:Additional hotspots options are available on the
dialog box.Hotspot Display

Hotspot Activation
By default, a double-click with the left mouse button activates a hotspot in documents that you create from the Micro Focus InfoConnect Desktop and legacy EXTRA! templates.
To change the activation method, use the following settings:
|
Choose the mouse button (Left, Middle, or Right) that activates a hotspot. Select to require two clicks of the specified mouse button to activate a hotspot. |
|
Select one or more keys to require a key press in combination with the specified mouse click settings to activate a hotspot. NOTE:This option is not available for UTS and T27 sessions. |
NOTE:You can specify the same mouse action, or mouse chord, to activate a hotspot and to trigger another action. When the pointer is over the hotspot, the mouse action will activate the hotspot; in all other areas of the document, the mouse action will trigger the action you defined in the Mouse Mapper.
