In the standalone TN3270 emulator, the Keyboard Mapper is not the same as the mapper in TinyTERM. Instead, it shows a 3270 Protocol Keys section at the top, and a PC Keyboard at the bottom.

The PC keys are in red and yellow. Pointing to any red key with the mouse causes an “Unmapped” message to appear at the bottom.

To the left of the 3270 Protocol Keys is a Show Map button. This will give a more detailed list of the key abbreviations. It also allows you to change the keys in a list format, rather than a map format.

To map a PC Keyboard key, use the left mouse button to drag the desired key from the 3270 Protocol Keys. Drop it on the red key you want mapped. The key will list its new assignment in black.

To save the mapping, exit the Keyboard Mapper. It will prompt you for a profile name, then save it. The next time you start 3270 emulation, select the desired profile to return to that key mapping.

To make changes to the key mappings under the any profile, open that profile. Go to the Keyboard Mapper to see and change that profile’s mappings.
