Enabling keyboard support
Users frequently interact with host applications using special
keys on the physical keyboard, such as F1, Attn, Reset, and Clear.
There are different ways in which the users
of your ZIETrans applications can send keystrokes to the host:
- By pressing keys on the physical keyboard. The term keyboard support, as used in this chapter, refers to this activity.
- By using buttons or links for function keys that are rendered by ZIETrans default rendering. The user clicks on the button or link to send a host key to the host.
- By using the host keypad or buttons or links you individually insert. The user clicks on the button or link to send a host key to the host.
This chapter explains how to define keyboard support in your ZIETrans project and contains tips for documenting keyboard support for your users.
To use keyboard support in ZIETrans Web projects, you must have a supported Web browser.
