Hotspot Funktion

In the Option "HotSpots" you can define, that function Keys and URL are shown as 3D-buttons.
Is it possible to make it look better and not ugly like now?
Or Make it possible to configure the border/text-color/background-color.

It would be better if the complete text is click-able.
Now: Fxx
Better: Fxx=New

The Numeric Hotspot is not usable.
When i have a Selection with:
1. Login
2. Config
And i click one i get into that point.
But i have a date in the first Line like '16.02.16' and the numbers are click-able too.
It would be better when i have a option like 'n. ' <- with one blanks!!
Or Maybe i can configure it.

I Would seperate the options for function and number Hotspots.

An Other Point it would be nice if selections like:
A. Add
D. Delete
would work too.


Use Case:

    The following support is now available in version 1.1.7.3 dated February 2018:

    We have added the requested support for numeric hotspots. The following property may now be set in AcsConfig.properties to enable this:
    com.ibm.iaccess.PC5250Compatibility=allowNnAsFKeyHotspot

    The remaining items will not be delivered.

    There are several requests in this RFE relative to hotspots. We have added the requested support for numeric hotspots. We have also added a property com.ibm.iaccess.PC5250Compatibility=allowNnAsFKeyHotspot so Fnn hotspots appear like they did in IBM i Access for Windows. You will be able to set this property in AcsConfig.properties. The remaining items will not be delivered.

    Hello, it is good to hear.
    I have forget, that longer selection with maybe 3 Number/Character should work too. The limit today is 2 Numbers. Thank you!
