Using this dialog box, you can specify which keyboard map to load for this session. You can also create a new keyboard map or edit or delete an existing one.
The Settings dialog box displays only those keyboard maps that are appropriate for the current session. For example, if you installed both T27 and UTS and you’re currently using T27, only T27 keyboard maps appear in the Available Keyboard Maps list box
The Available Keyboard Maps list box lists only those keyboard maps that exist in the local or remote folder specified on the Global Preferences dialog box. To use a keyboard map located in a different folder, you must move it to the local or remote folder or change the remote folder.
If you select the check box in front of the Default item, you will use the emulator's default keystrokes rather than the keystrokes associated with a particular keyboard map, and you will not be able to use blind key programming.
NOTE:If you load a keyboard map for a type of keyboard that is not appropriate for your PC, a warning message appears after you click OK or Apply. For example, if your PC is configured for a 101-key keyboard and you load a 122-key keyboard map, the warning message appears. You can still load the keyboard map, but some keystrokes might not work.

About the Currently Loaded Keyboard Map
When you click Keyboard from the View menu, a window displays the currently loaded keyboard map. (If you are not using a keyboard map for this session, this window displays the default keystrokes for the emulator.)
As you click keys on this window, the corresponding characters appear in the session window, or the corresponding actions are taken.
To view the functions of keystroke combinations with ALT, SHIFT, or CTRL, hold down the mouse button when the mouse pointer is over any of those buttons. The window displays the functions associated with each key. For example, if CTRL+F2 performs the Transmit function, the word Transmit appears in the F2 key location when you hold down the mouse button when the mouse pointer is over the CTRL key.
