Terminal / Emulation / Mapped Keys

This category only appears if VanDyke Software's SecureCRT® 5.0 (or newer) is also installed.

The Emulation/Mapped Keys category of the Session Options dialog allows you to create or edit keymaps for a session .

Note: Mapped keys apply only to the current session and will not carry over to other sessions. If you want to make a key assignment that works in multiple sessions, you may want to use the Keymap Editor.
