Section 4: Entering Commands: Immediate Mode

TouchTerm has several ways to communicate with the server. The default mode for entering text is "Immediate Mode". In Immediate ("Raw") Mode, TouchTerm operates in the same way as standard terminal programs: every keypress that you issue is immediately sent to the server. In order to send keystrokes, simply tap once on the terminal output window, which will bring up the keyboard display. As you type keys, you will see that they are sent directly to the server and the output is updated appropriately.

Immediate Mode is most useful when using interactive programs, such as emacs or vi. Some users may even prefer to use Immediate Mode for all tasks.
