Keyboard options

Keyboard mapping

Select the Keyboard mapping icon on the Action bar for keyboard mapping.

Glink is set up with a default keyboard mapping. You may override the default mapping or add a mapping for a hardware button (key) on the device itself or a key on an external keyboard.

Keyboard input handling

There are a number of Input Methods available for Android with slightly different behavior. The Auto option handles normally these differences, but in some cases, it might be necessary to select another Key input handling option.

Auto
This is the default value and uses either the Standard or the Advanced implementation depending of the device.

Standard
Use this option if you experience an extra toolbar line at the top of the soft keyboard.

Entended
Use this option if you are using a soft keyboards that requires an extra toolbar line (like Chinese or Japanese) and this is not working properly.

Basic
This implementation might work better for some devices or special device setup.

External keyboard

Map shift/F1.. to F13..
If you have and external keyboard with 12 function keys, check this option if you want the shift/F1 to shift/F12 keys mapped to the functions F13 to F24. The default value is that the shift/F1 to shift/F10 keys is mapped to function F11 to F20 and the alt/F1 to alt/F4 is mapped to the functions F21 to F24.

This option is only valid for Glink3270 and Glink5250.

Mappable modifier keys
Normally modifier keys (Ctrl, Alt, Shift..) are used in combination with other keys. If you need to map a specific modifier key, enable this option and go to the Keyboard mapping dialog box and press the modifier key to map.
