Specifying User Settings

To specify user settings, select Edit > User Settings. This displays a dialog box where you can specify both the current setup and initial values of various parameters used by the Terminal application. The settings are as follows:

Setting Description
Wrap Automatic wrapping at right hand column
<- Key sends ^H Set to have <X> key send Ctrl+H rather than Delete
Application Keypad Enable Application Mode keypad
Force Numeric Pad Force standard PC keypad
Disable Special ID Do not send special Terminal ID
Disable Mouse Reports Do not sent mouse reports
Enable Fast Paint Enable fast paint mode
Paste Keeps Linefeed Set to send line feeds from clipboard (along with carriage return)
Pass XOFF Through Let remote host handle XOFF/XON.
Windows edit accelerators Specifies whether the Terminal application enables the common Windows edit shortcuts (Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V, Ctrl+Shift+V), in addition to the basic edit shortcuts (Ctrl+Insert and Shift+Insert).

If these Windows shortcuts are not enabled, the characters are passed in the data stream to the InterSystems IRIS® data platform server process.

Paste burst size (in bytes) The number of characters to paste in one transmission
Paste pause time (in msec) The number of milliseconds between successive transmissions of pasted material longer than the burst size

Some systems cannot accept data as fast as the Terminal application can send it. Thus, the Paste burst size determines how much to send at once and the Paste pause time determines the pause time between transmissions. If either setting is less than 1, the entire clipboard is sent at once.
