Allow keyboard input in iACS Printer Output

The Printer Output component in IBM i Access Client Solutions doesn't allow keyboard input. For example, Set Filter doesn't recognize the ENTER key. The grid of spooled files doesn't recognize the the DELETE or ENTER keys.


Use Case:

I need to filter for a particular user, I type in the user profile and press ENTER, Printer Output should treat that the same as clicking the OK button.

On the grid, I should be able to arrow up/down and view/delete spooled files with the ENTER/DELETE keys.

    On my laptop, the dialogue is too tall to fit on the screen. If Printer Output allowed ENTER to be the same as clicking OK, that would be a non-issue.

    IBM understands this request and will consider it for a future code update, though no commitment is made or implied.
