7.0.0 (build 295) Beta - Mapped Keys Bug?

[brettc]

Ever since updating one of our Macs to the version 7 beta, a certain mapped key combination has stopped working.

I use iRAPP (an RDP-clone product for Macs) to remote desktop into this Mac from my Windows 7 PC. To make working remotely in SecureCRT on the Mac more similar to working on the PC, I've created the following Mapped Key for SecureCRT sessions on the Mac:

Key Combination: Shift-HELP (which is actually Shift-Insert on my PC keyboard)
Function: MENU_PASTE

This used to work perfectly, but as soon as I updated to the version 7 beta, it broke. If I try to create a new mapped key and press Shift-Insert, nothing happens. It's as if I haven't pressed any keys. If I try Ctrl-Insert or Shift-Ctrl-Insert, those DO work, registering as Ctrl-HELP and Ctrl-Shift-HELP, respectively.

Hello brettc,

I cannot replicate the issue you reported. How did you map the key combination?

Did you use Tools / Keymap Editor?

Or did you save it in the session by configuring the Terminal / Emulation / Mapped Keys category of SecureCRT's Session Options?

When attempting to reconfigure the mapped key as described above, is this being done at the Mac or remotely via the Windows 7 PC?

In this case I was configuring Mapped Keys under Session Options, but the same thing happens in the global Keymap Editor.

It's being done remotely via the Windows 7 PC. But I have another identically configured Mac (lets call that Mac 2) that I also access remotely from the same Windows 7 PC where this works. The only difference between the Mac 1 and Mac 2 is that Mac 2 is still running SecureCRT version 6.7.5 and Mac 1 is running the new beta 7.0.0.

The Shift-Insert/Shift-HELP mapped key also worked on Mac 1 right up until it was upgraded. Nothing else has changed.

Hello Brett,

On Mac 1 (SecureCRT v7.0 beta 2), is the mapped keys custom configuration still shown in Terminal / Emulation / Mapped Keys?

Or are the entries showing the custom keymap missing from the dialog as well?

Please send the following to support@vandyke.com and include "Attn Brenda - Forum Thread #10489" in the subject line.

Be sure to clear any credentials from session .ini files.

• Session's .ini file from Mac 1 (v7.0 b2)
  
• Session's .ini file from Mac 2 (v6.7.5)

Yes, the entries are still there after the upgrade. But if I try to delete them and re-create them, it never even registers Shift-Insert as a key combination. Other combinations, like Shift-T, or Ctrl-Shift-Insert register and function normally.

I'll send you the .ini files shortly.
