Soft Keyboard

The Soft Keyboard simulates an entire keyboard that is connected to the remote system. It is necessary in

case your remote system runs with a completely different language and country mapping to your

administration machine. By selecting the appropriate button(s) you can send key codes and also key

sequences to the remote system and act as if you would work with a keyboard that is directly connected

to the remote system.

In order to open the Soft Keyboard select the entry "Soft Keyboard" from the Options menu. You can

send single key strokes like F as well as key combinations such as Ctrl+C or AltGr+Shift+F4.

For a single key stroke you can click on the button with the wanted character. Single keys such as regular

characters and numbers are sent immediately. Special keys like Ctrl, Shift as well as the function keys

F1 to F12 have to be selected twice. The ﬁrst press sends the signal "key is pressed", the second press

indicated the signal "key is released" to the remote system. After the ﬁrst press the button will change its

color to signalize that the according key is czurrently pressed. After the second press the button will

revert to its usual look and conﬁrm that the key was sent.

To send the key combination Ctrl+C select the button Ctrl ﬁrst. The button will change its color. Press

the button C. The following key (C in our example) will be combined with the previously selected key.

Both the buttons Ctrl and C are released and the key combination will be sent to the remote system. The

button Ctrl will appear as normal (color change).

In order to send the key combination Ctrl+F5 three steps need to be done. Select the button Ctrl once

and the button F5 twice. The last press will release both buttons and send the key combination to the

remote system.

In order to send the key combination AltGr+Shift+F4 four steps are required. First, select the button

AltGr once. Second, select the button Shift. Finally, click the button F4 twice. The last press will

release all the buttons and send the key combination to the remote system.
