The standalone 5250 Keyboard Mapper is similar to the mapper in the standalone 3270 emulator. However, some of the keys are already mapped. In the PC Keyboard section, red keys are standard Windows keys. Black keys are already mapped to 5250 protocol keys. Yellow keys cannot be changed.

To the left of the tn5250 Keymap section 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, drag the desired key from the tn5250 Keymap section and drop it on the PC key you want configured. The new key mapping will display in black.

To save the mapping, exit 5250 emulation. The program will prompt you for a profile name. Save the profile. When starting 5250 emulation, select the desired profile to restore the keyboard mapping.
