Parameters
key-string: Specifies a shortcut key. It can be a character (case sensitive, except for d and D), or an
ASCII code value in the range of 0 to 127. For example, if you configure escape-key 1, the shortcut
key is Ctrl+A. If you configure escape-key a, the shortcut key is a. If you specify the character d or D
for this argument, the actual shortcut key is Ctrl+C. To use d or D as the shortcut key, you must
specify the ASCII code value of the character for this argument. For information about ASCII code
values of individual characters, see the standard ASCII code chart. For information about ASCII
code values of combined keys that use the Ctrl key, see Table 6.
defa
ult: Restores the default escape key Ctrl+C.
Usage guidelines
You can press the escape key to abort a command that is being executed, for example, a ping or
tracert command. Whether a command can be aborted by Ctrl+C by default depends on the
software implementation of the command. For more information, see the usage guidelines for the
command.
As a best practice, use a key sequence as the escape key. If you define a single character as the
escape key, pressing the key while a command is being executed stops the command. If no
command is being executed, pressing the key enters the character as a common character. If you
Telnet from the device to a remote device, pressing the key enters the character as a common
character on the remote device. The key acts as the escape key on the remote device only when the
following conditions are met:
• You define the same character as the escape key on the remote device.
• You press the key while a command is being executed on the remote device.
