Further Information



Bug/RFE 4957451 ----------------------------------------------------------------

J3270 has been enhanced to allow user defined color schemes. Please see the
User's Guide for details of this feature.



Bug/RFE 4957325 ----------------------------------------------------------------

J3270 has been enhanced to allow the 'Copy' functionality to copy a subsection
of the screen to the clipboard. Please see the User's Guide for details of
this feature.



Bug/RFE 4948074 ----------------------------------------------------------------

J3270 has been enhanced to allow the modifier keys to be mapped to 3270 actions.
The most common usage of this would be to treat the right Control key as
pressing 3270 Enter. This can be performed using the following syntax in
the .j3270.keymap.properties file in the user's home directory:

pressed.RIGHT_CONTROL=pressEnter

In the above example, RIGHT_CONTROL may be replaced by LEFT_CONTROL to instead
treat the left Control key as pressing 3270 Enter.

The use of the LEFT_CONTROL and RIGHT_CONTROL syntax is only supported for
keyboards with two Control keys. If the keyboard only has one Control key,
then any mapping of the right or left Control may have unpredictable results.

Specifying actions for BOTH the left and right Control keys is unsupported.
Any attempt to do so may have unpredictable results.



Bug/RFE 4819408 ----------------------------------------------------------------

J3270 has been enhanced to allow a backslash character to be treated as a Yen
currency symbol character when it is entered by a user. This is useful in
Japan where backslash and Yen are often treated as the same character. To
enable this behaviour add the following lines to the .j3270.keymap.properties
file in the user's home directory:

pressed.BACK_SLASH=typeChar.0x00A5
