Enable "Home" key Securecrt
Hi ,
When I telnet via Securecrt to the Rack i notice i Can't use "home" key to move to the start of the line,"end" key doesn't work either.
Using them will literally save me a bunch of time moving Backwards & Forwards.
Does anyone came across this issue and found a solution?
Thanks.

Hi,
The CTRL characters for Telnet will work. CTRL-A wil move your curser to the start of the line and CTRL-E wil move it to the end of the line.
The "Home" key is a Microsoft concept - the UNIX world uses CTRL-A and CTRL-E keys as mhughes replied.
This issue does not pertain to SecureCRT, but to the user interface in Cisco IOS telnet server.
You could probably configure key mappings in SecureCRT to have the Home key send CTRL-A, but I find it easier to use the native control characters in the IOS user interface.
In the Lab Exam you won't have time to customize the Putty client (or whatever telnet client they may be using) - just learn the native control characters or continue using the arrow key.
Thanks guys, I didn't know That
currently i mapped the The "Home" key in secure crt to send string /001 which is Ctrl+A and "End" key to send /005 which is Ctrl+E .
It Works Great.

This is really useful,Thanks !!
I do remember reading a lab review that they use aliases in their exam, but you also need to remove it.
Hope this helps!
