How can I map a combination of keys (more than one) to a function? 

For instance, how can I map shift and another key or keys?

This issue it's not described anywhere.

In Access Client Solutions, you can set keyboard functions at:

Edit, Preferences, Keyboard.  On the Key Assignment tab, there is a drop down box.  Select Host Functions.  Click on the Host Function you want to map the key to, then click "Assign a Key".  You'll see a small note appear that says "Press A Key". Press whatever combination of keys you want to assign it to, and you'll see those keys are now displayed in the Key column.  Make sure you press the "Save" button to save your changes.

I already did what you say, but the problem is that when I press the first key, it immediately assigns it without recognizing the next one, hence my question.

Anyway many thanks for your reply.

Dear Carlos

In the sample below, I select Field Exit (anyone still knows what Field Exit is for ? :-)  and click "Assign a Key" and then I PRESS AND HOLD ALT key first and then press F and it enters the assignment as shown below.  If you press the first key and release, it gets assigned right away without waiting for the second key.

Are you using iMac or a Windows or Linux notebook? What I describe above is for a Windows notebook. I hope it works the same in other type of PC.

Hi Satid, thank you for your reply.

I am using a HP notebook on Windows 10, and I do that, I am trying remap SysReq function, clicking "Assign key" and then pressing SHIFT + ESCAPE, but for some unknown reason when I press SHIFT it doesn't let me press the ESCAPE key and just record the SHIFT key "Mayús (izquierda)" . 

I think it can be something about the OS keyboard configuration, but it's really driving me crazy.

Regards

Try editing your AS400.kmp file with Notepad.  On my computer, it is located at:
C:\Users\%username%\Documents\IBM\iAccessClient\Emulator

S27 is the internal code for SHIFT + ESC.

So, under the [KeyRemap] section, add the line:

S27=[sysreq]

Save the file, then re-start ACS if it is already running.  Hope this helps!

From my Google search, I find that HP notebook does have an issue with Escape key as you can see from this sample from HP Support web site "Esc key not working on laptop" at https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Hardware-and-Upgrade-Questions/Esc-key-not-working-on-Laptop/td-p/6407749.  If this one does not solve your issue, you need to do some more Googgle search or call your local HP support.
