Remote console hot keys

The Hot Keys page allows you to define up to six hot keys to use during remote console sessions. Each hot key represents a combination of up to five keys. The key combination is sent to the host server when the hot key is pressed. Hot keys are active during remote console sessions that use the integrated remote console and the text-based remote console.

If a hot key is not set—for example, Ctrl+V is set to NONE, NONE, NONE, NONE, NONE—this hot key is disabled. The server operating system will interpret Ctrl+V as it usually does (paste, in this example). If you set Ctrl+V to use another combination of keys, the server operating system will use the key combination set in iLO (losing the paste functionality).

Example 1: If you want to send Alt+F4 to the remote server, but pressing that key combination closes your browser, you can configure the hot key Ctrl+X to send the Alt+F4 key combination to the remote server. After you configure the hot key, press Ctrl+X in the remote console window when you want to send Alt+F4 to the remote server.

Example 2: If you want to create a hot key to send the international AltGR key to the remote server, use R_ALT in the key list.

NOTE:

If will you do a lot of typing in remote console sessions, you might want to avoid assigning hot keys that use Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V shortcuts. These shortcuts are normally assigned to the cut and paste features.
