Mnemonic keys (definition)

Keyboard mnemonics are ASCII characters that represent non-data keystrokes such as special function keys. For example, by default the down-arrow key on your keyboard sends a @V command to the host screen. In a transition command, if only one mnemonic key is sent to the host screen, Interaction Host Recorder will attempt to identify the label associated with that mnemonic. For example, if you press the down arrow key once in a command, Interaction Host Recorder displays the text "Cursor Down" in the transition command. If you press the down arrow key twice in one command, @V@V appears. This is due to a limitation in Interaction Host Recorder's ability to parse complex mnemonic sequences.

The following list shows all the mnemonic keys mapped my default, You can change the mnemonic values and their labels on the Keyboard Map page in the Preferences dialog.
