None of the keys in the “island” between the main keyboard and the numeric keypad can be mapped in combination with Shift. These include the arrow keys, Insert, Home, Page Up, Delete, End and Page Down. Nor can they be mapped in combination with the Alt key, or Shift+Ctrl. They can only be mapped unshifted, or in combination with the Ctrl key.

CR 110 (enhancement)

Configure TinyTERM for SCOANSI emulation, then connect to a SCO UNIX system. Go to a shell prompt. When you hit the Delete key, the cursor moves one position to the right on each key press. This is normal behavior, not a bug.

CR 91

The TN3270 keyboard map allows you to set any PC key to the 3270 DUP key. However, it doesn’t work. It acts as though no key were pressed instead.

CR 680, fixed in TinyTERM Plus 4.43

The Newline key was added to the TN5250 keyboard chart in TinyTERM Plus 4.40.

CR 626

If you map the TN3270 CLEAR function to a key, it does nothing. It can cause a lockup in some data entry screens, unless no data has been entered.

CR 497, fixed in TinyTERM Plus 4.40

The ANSI emulation is loosely defined at best. The screen display sequences are fairly well fixed, but the function key definitions vary from system to system.

If you are using ANSI emulation, but the function keys aren’t working, try another emulation instead. SCOANSI, AT386 and VT100 are all common options.

CR 449

Connect four or more sessions in TinyTERM. Disconnect two or three of the sessions. The remaining sessions no longer reflect the keys in the interface nor send the keys to the server.

However, TinyTERM is not locked. You can open and close any number of sessions, and get response from the new sessions. In the bad sessions, the display is OK, and the cursor still flashes.

If the second or subsequent session uses TN3270 or TN5250 emulation, you don’t have to close the session to cause the problem. Clicking OK on the Session Properties is enough to cause the keyboard errors.

CR 441, fixed in TinyTERM 4.31
CR 445, duplicate

Using TERM for Linux 6.2.5b, the function keys work properly at the console. However, if TERM is run through an xterm window in any window manager, the function keys fail. This is fixed in TERM 6.28.

CR 419

TinyTERM 4.x does not allow you to remap the Print Screen or Pause key. This functionality was added in TinyTERM 4.30. It was lost again in TinyTERM 4.31.

CR 353, fixed in 4.30
CR 602

TinyTERM 4.x does not have the copy and paste functions mapped to keys by default. You can set this up through keyboard mapping.

In the keyboard mapper, click the Chart Open button. On the chart, click the F button in the upper right to get a list of functions. You can drag COPY and PASTE from that chart to any keys on the keyboard.

You can also do this through CScript commands. In the keyboard mapper, select the key you want to use for copying text. Change the Action to MACRO. In the Value line, enter:

te.copy();

For pasting copied text, the command is:

te.paste();
