The iSeries Access 5250 green-screen emulator named Personal Communications has always caused me havoc when I try to copy and paste. Since the default keys for iSeries Access do not support MS Windows CTRL+C for Copy, CTRL+V for Paste, and CTRL+X for Cut functions, I always had to move my cursor up to the Copy and Paste buttons on the toolbar. Really a pain.
Well, Dennis Bruno made my day by sending me the instructions on how to make iSeries Access understand Copy (CTRL+C ), Paste (CTRL+V), and Cut (CTRL+X).
Here's a snippet from his e-mail.
Open a session and click the Remap Keyboard Functions button in the toolbar. It will tell you the name of the keyboard file (i.e., the .kmp file) you are using. Find the .kmp file in your iSeries Access directory and paste the following into the file to get Windows style Cut/Copy/Paste:
C-KEY47=[edit-cut]
C-KEY48=[edit-copy]
C-KEY49=[edit-paste]
