Keyboard operation to push buttons needs to be unchanged in ACS Session Manager

Keyboard operation to push buttons needs to be unchanged in ACS Session Manager.

ACS 1.1.8.3 or later requires Ctrl + Enter key for push button operation while 1.1.8.2 or earlier accepted just Enter. A large customer here deploys ACS with RPA solution in order to automate various setting operations, and ACS version upgrade forced them to update the robot. They want to avoid the same task again to minimize the deployment workload.

The concerned panel can be reached as follows: ACS GUI > 5250 Session Manager > either "New Display Session", "New Printer Session" or "New Multiple Sessions". Then hit tab key multiple times to move focus on some specific button, and hit Enter or Ctrl + Enter.

This request is not to change something, but to unchange something, because the customer has already implemented the workaround.


Use Case:

Large customers who need detailed ACS setting may want to implement RPA solution for productivity, and it is essential to unchange the key board operation.
