-
Show keypad selects KeyPad automatically for the view whenever you open the workspace, so the function key mappings will display at the bottom of the view.
Show block cursor displays the cursor as a block instead of as the underscore character.
Show ruler draws a line along the vertical axis of the cursor and along the horizontal axis so you can easily locate the cursor on the display.
Query
Use the Query tab to specify the query to use for the Terminal view. The values returned by the query can be used in two ways:- If you specified Fetch values from a query on the Connection tab, the query provides the host name or IP address, port, and terminal type to use for the connection.
- The query provides application-specific values that can be retrieved using the getProperty function in a connection script. These property values provide contextual data that can be used (along with any properties specified by the link) to open the Terminal view to a specific panel.
