Associating a mouse click with the Enter key

Many 3270 emulators support an option to associate a mouse click with the Enter key.

About this task

You might prefer to associate a mouse click with the Enter key in your 3270 emulator session. After you make this association, in contexts where you normally click and enter, you can instead double click.

Procedure

Locate point and select or mouse click configuration options for your emulator.

For example, in an IBM Personal Communications emulator window, select Edit > Preferences > Hotspots. The Hotspots Setup window opens. Select ENTER at cursor position and click OK.

Results

You can now double click with your mouse in place of clicking and pressing Enter for your 3270 emulator session.
