Auto tab when input field is filled

If this option is selected, then an automatic tab to the next field of a form will be performed as soon as the last character of the field has been typed. If not selected then no action will be performed until either the Tab key or the next character is entered.

Auto Tab host

This option controls whether automatic tabbing (move to the next field of the form when the last character of a field is entered) should also be applied to input coming from the host machine. The normal Glink action here is not to perform such automatic tabbing for host data even when local auto-tab is set. The option may be required for host applications developed using emulators that make the assumption that auto-tabbing applies equally to local and host data . This option applies to VIP and DKU only.

Destructive backspace

Effective only for modes where characters are being echoed locally by the emulator, this option specifies that the backspace key should replace the character backspaced over with a space character. Note that in insert mode backspace will in any case delete such characters, and also move that part of the line following the cursor one character to the left.

Auto scroll to cursor if not visible

This option controls whether Glink automatically should scroll the screen so that the cursor position is visible on the screen or not. It is by default enabled, and when enabled, Glink will always scroll the screen to display the cursor position. When disabled, Glink will display the top left portion of the screen when it receives a new screen from the server and the display will not follow the cursor when it is moved. The user can scroll the display to the cursor position by tapping the screen or scroll freely by dragging the screen, but each new screen will default to the top left corner.

Scrollback length

This option lets you specify the maximum number of scrollback pages saved. Note that each extra page of scrollback you configure will cost extra memory allocated.
