Custom Keys
Custom keys let you create soft key buttons that send any key combination or multi-step sequence to the terminal.
Creating a custom key
In the settings panel, under the soft key editor:
- Tap Add custom key
- Enter a label — the text shown on the button (e.g.
C-c) - Enter a combo — the key sequence to send (e.g.
Ctrl+c)
Combo format
Each combo is a comma-separated list of key steps. Each step is a combination of modifiers and a key:
Ctrl+c
Ctrl+Shift+a
Escape, Shift+;, q
Valid modifiers: Ctrl, Alt, Shift
Valid keys: any single character, plus Esc, Tab, Up, Down, Left, Right, Home, End, PageUp, PageDown
