Wx3270/Help/APL keypad

The Wx3270 APL pop-up keypad window appears then the keypad button is pressed on the wx3270 main window, while the Alt key is pressed. It allows common APL keys to be input quickly, when the key mappings may not be memorized or may not exist at all.



To enter one of the keys, left-click on it. To enter one of the keys and close the window, right-click on a key.

Some keys have a different meanings when modifier keys (Shift, Alt, Ctrl) are pressed. For example, the key labeled ÷ becomes ⌹ when Shift is pressed. The key labels change as modifier keys are pressed and released.

The keymap can be customized from the keypad settings tab.
