Function Keys
Function keys are used to perform many tasks on CL/SuperSession. The keys and their uses are displayed at the bottom of each panel. Only the function keys that are available for a panel are displayed.
For example, panels with data that may continue over several screens display the backward and forward function keys, F7 and F8, while single-screen panels do not.
The following keys are available from most panels:
- Enter
- Causes CL/SuperSession to process the current panel and save the data typed in all fields.
- F1
- Displays help for the current panel, window, or field.
- F2
- In help screens, gives in-depth information on a panel, field, or function.
- F3
- Exits the current panel.
- F4
- Displays a list of valid selections for an input field. If there are only two valid selections, F4 toggles between the two.
- F5
- Refreshes the current panel by clearing and updating it.
- F7
- Scrolls backward if more lines exist than can be displayed on the current panel.
- F8
- Scrolls forward if more lines exist than can be displayed on the current panel.
- F9
- Retrieves the last command issued and re-enters it on the command
line. By pressing F9 repeatedly, you can retrieve up to ten
previous commands.
Resets a field with a value taken from the next higher profile. Profiles are described in Profiles. To reset a field, move the cursor to the field and press F9. If the value of the field is from the user profile, it is reset to the group profile value. If it is from the group profile, the field is reset with the value from the global profile. If the value is from the global profile, the field is unchanged.
- F10
- Moves the cursor to the home position on the action bar.
- F12
- Cancels the current panel and erases all changes and additions made in any of the fields since you last pressed Enter.
