No Numlock in SSH Session

Hello,

What type of SSH session are you using? SSH Shell or SSH Shell (rebex)?

Could you post a print screen of the properties of your session.

Best regards,

Hello,

I am using SSH Shell (see Screenshots attached for properties of the session).
When I am using SSH Rebex my Numlock is working fine.

Best regards
Johannes

PS: By the way, I am using a Surface Pro 4 with Windows 10 Anniversary Update. Just for info.

Hello,

Thank you for all the print screens.



In the Terminal tab of your session, could you change the Application Keypad mode to Disable.

This should do the trick.

Best regards,

Hello,

thanks for your support!
This was the right solution!

Hello,
this solution does not work in Remote Desktop Manager 11.7.3.0 in SSH sessions.
Could you please help me with this problem?

@Miroslav Cipel,

Are you using SSH Shell or SSH Shell (rebex) session?

Are you using RDM 32 or 64 bit?

Hello,

I've been unable to reproduce your issue using RDM 11.7.3.0. Could you export an entry without the host and credentials and link it here so I can see the settings?

If you can give us any further information like the kind of terminal you connect to or if you use the numpad in an application, this would be helpful.

Regards,

Hello,
step to reproduce:


1. create new session - Edit/New Entry/Add Session/SSH Shell
2. in the General tab fill Name, Host, Username, Password
3. in the Terminal tab "Application keypad mode" change to disable
4. Open new session and try keypad - this is OK
5. run nano or mcedit and try some numbers on keypad - does not work

Hello,

Could you see if toggling on/off the numlock changes the behavior while the application keypad mode is disabled?

Our integration of SSH is based on PuTTY. This is how the application keypad mode functions: https://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.60/htmldoc/Chapter4.html#config-appkeypad

Hello,

just said this issue is solved a few weeks ago, but still got the same error as Miroslav.
Numlock works fine when I am in a ssh session but when I use nano it uses the arrwo key function and no number is written.
Even if I activate and deactivate the numlock in the nano editor again, it is still using the arrow key functions and not the numbers.

Best regards
Johannes

Thank you for the feedback.

Unfortunately then, for the moment we cannot do anything. It seems that perhaps the application itself (nano, etc) force the keypad to send commands rather than numbers. We will keep that on our todo list but we can't promise a time frame for a fix / a new option that helps this issue.

Hello,

thank you for info - any workaround?

Best regards
Miroslav

There is currently no known workaround for the issue on RDM's end, as even with our third party this is not possible with the options we are given.

Certain applications like emacs or vim allow you to change how they behave in reaction to the keypad: http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/PuTTY_numeric_keypad_mappingshttps://kb.iu.edu/d/axpf
This is the only workaround that works at the moment.

Is there a way to batch edit the Application Keypad modeto Disable?

We have almost 200 switches, routers, Servers, and wireless lan controllers as SSH.

@Network Admin

This is possible using our Batch Edit feature. Select all your SSH Shell sessions and click on Edit -> Batch Edit -> Batch Actions -> Custom PowerShell Command and enter the following script:

$connection.Terminal.DisableKeypadMode = "false"
$RDM.Save();

Best regards,

@Jean-François Dagenais

I like the option you've given me, but get an error when executing. Same error for all 224 objects:


RouterName.local:
The property 'DisableKeypadMode' cannot be found on this object. Verify that the property exists and can be set.
At line:1 char:1
+ $connection.Terminal.DisableKeypadMode = "false"
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo: InvalidOperation: (:) [], RuntimeException

@Network Admin

My script was created using RDM 12.0.10.0, sorry about that. If you are using an older version like RDM 12.0.5.0 or 12.0.8.0, the script will be the following:

$connection.Terminal.KeypadMode = "Disable"
$RDM.Save();

Best regards,

Worked perfectly. Much appreciated.

@Murat Caliskan,

What is your issue exactly?

What version of RDM are you running?

Best regards,

@Murat Caliskan,

Sorry for the late reply, but with your last post, I still don't understand your issue.

Could you elaborate on that matter please?

Best regards,
