Session Profiles → Options for the TN3270 Emulation

The TN3270 emulation has a range of options specific to this emulation. Those with a non-obvious meaning are explained here:  

Options

       
Swap Ctrl and Enter Keys
 

The normal mapping for these keys is that Enter acts as the NewLine key and the right Ctrl key acts as Transmit. Enabling this option swaps these keys. (See also: Default Key-Mappings for the 3270 Emulation).

Use shift+arrow-keys to mark text on screen
 

Text can be marked on screen using the shift key. Otherwise the shift key will move the cursor sideways at double speed.

Make Fnn and PFnn fields clickable on screen
 

This options will highlight areas on screen that refer to F-keys (e.g. "F3=End") and allows you to click these fields in order to send the corresponding F-key.

Move cursor when pasting
 

This option will move the cursor when pasting text from the clipboard, otherwise the cursor will remain at the position where the pasting began.

Allow pasting of matching content over protected fields
 

If this option is set, you can paste text over protected areas if that pasted text matches the protected content. This allows you to copy a whole screen with contents in the fields and paste it back into the same screen later (filling the fields again). If this option is disabled, when pasting reaches a protected area, it will jump to the next field and will continue to paste the content there (this is similar to PCOMM's behavior).

Answer SF-Query OEM-AuxDev requests
 

When ZOC receives an SF-Query request, it will include the OEM-Aux Dev 8F(hex) section into the reply, which includes information about the terminal emulator, the session name, etc.

 
 
Colors

       
Color Settings for Standard Mode
 

You can choose from predefined sets of colors that represent screen attributes (e.g. protected, unprotected, highlight, …). These apply only to TN3270 sessions in standard mode, i.e. when ZOC is not showing "-E" after the model number in the blue status line.

Color Settings for Extended Mode
 

This dialog lets you create your own color schemes for TN3270 sessions that run in extended mode. (when ZOC is shows an "E" after the model number in the blue status bar). In extended TN3270 sessions the host requests specific colors for text displayed on the screen. The color map lets you replace the host's choices with a different color, e.g. when the host requests blue in a TN3279-E session, you can map that color to purple.

Background and Statusbar Colors
 

In these sections you can specify the colors for background and statusbar. These apply for both, standard mode and extended mode.
