When you double-click a keystroke, it appears in the Keystrokes text box. All control code strings (for example, <BS>, <CR>, or <ESC>) must include angle brackets. When a control code string is encountered, it checks to see if that string is among its recognized strings. If the string is valid, the corresponding control code character is passed to the display session. If the string is not valid, the string is passed directly to the display session so that the display session can determine if it is a valid keystroke string for that display session. If you do not want the control code string interrupted, you must include an accent grave (`) in front of the string. |
