Configure Recent Typing for 6530

How do I get to this dialog box?

  1. With a 6530 session open in Reflection, open the Settings window.

    The steps depend on your user interface mode.

    User Interface Mode Steps
    Ribbon or Reflection Browser From the Quick Access Toolbar, click .
    TouchUx Tap the Gear icon and then select Document Settings.

  2. Under Productivity, select Configure Recent Typing.

Recent typing is used to retain commonly entered lines for later re-use. When enabled, typing a character or pressing the up or down arrow keys opens an inline editor showing you commands you have previously typed – just the commands that start with the character you typed, or all commands if the up or down arrow is used on an empty prompt line. Since the inline editor is a normal edit box, you can then change the command as you require and press Enter to send it to the host.

You can bring up a full list of all typed in strings by clicking on the Recent Typing item in the Productivity section of the Session ribbon. You can then select one of the commands and send it to the host by double clicking on it.

Note

For information about creating and editing macros, using file transfer, logging, and other features, see the 6530 Help available on the Session ribbon Help group.
