How Do I Create a Key-Macro Using a Custom Escape Sequence in Wavelink?
Facts
The escape value always needs to be a four digit HEX value. The remaining characters can be symbols, numbers or letters. You cannot use just 1B, you have to have 001B. The \ indicates that you are using a HEX value. The following would also work: 3B00:\001B\005B\0032\0038\007E F1 = ESC [ 2 8 ~
Answer
The format for creating a Key-Macro as a custom escape sequence is the same for AirBEAM, Avalanche, or ActiveSync WaveLink Emulation Packages. Obtain the four digit HEX value for the key that you want to re-map. This can be done by going in to Diagnostics within the emulation software. Go in to Keyboard Test and press the key that you want to re-map.
Example: F1 = 3B00
Example of Custom Escape Sequence: ESC[28~
KeyMacro would be: 3B00:\001B[28~
We see 001B is ESC
Example: F1 = 3B00
Example of Custom Escape Sequence: ESC[28~
KeyMacro would be: 3B00:\001B[28~
We see 001B is ESC
