Answer
Create a registry file to make the change persist after a cold boot.
NOTE: A cold reboot will erase all files, except the application and platform folder. Save your files before cold booting.
"AutoEnter"=dword:00000000
"AutoPIE"=dword:00000000
"AutoTab"=dword:00000000
"Binary"=dword:00000000
"Data"=dword:00000001
"Escape"=dword:00000001
"Prefix"="”
"Suffix"="\xYY”
NOTE: A cold reboot will erase all files, except the application and platform folder. Save your files before cold booting.
- Open Notepad on the PC.
- Type the following registry entry:
"AutoEnter"=dword:00000000
"AutoPIE"=dword:00000000
"AutoTab"=dword:00000000
"Binary"=dword:00000000
"Data"=dword:00000001
"Escape"=dword:00000001
"Prefix"="”
"Suffix"="\xYY”
- Make sure the value of Escape is set to dword:00000001, which means “Allow escapes in prefix/suffix”.
- Note in the \xYY in the example above, the YY is the hex value you want to send. For example, \x0D is to send a return value (Enter Key).
- Save the file as suffix_return.reg
- Place the file on your Terminal in the \Application Folder using ActiveSync.
