Delivered with RDz 8.5
Planned for RDz release
The Ctrl key, Print Screen key, Scroll Lock, etc... SHOULD ALL be mappable keys like they are in other emulators such as EXTRA or RUMBA. Without this it makes using the emulator a cumbersome experience.
In my evaluations of rdz i find the inability to map keys a bit better especially the CTRL key (right or left) to be a small hinderance in my acceptance of this product. I would specifically like to map the right ctrl key to .
This RFE is consistent with our strategy and product roadmap and IBM is continuing to evaluate.
Eclipse controls mapping so rerouting this RFE.
Within The RDz product we are having this issue where you cannot unmap the Ctrl key from enter.
This causes a problem where any time one uses a shortcut within the Host Connection Emulator such as Ctrl+C for Copy enter will automatically be triggered. This can cause significant issues on a mainframe system. This is a large drawback to using the emulator within the RDz product as it is potentially dangerous.
We are in the middle of a Proof of concept or RDz at my organization and this is a drawback as we would like to remove our current emulator if we adopt RDz.
