Customizing the User Experience<br />
> <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> 5 — A <strong>Technical</strong> <strong>Whitepaper</strong><br />
Users can further customize the look and feel of the <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> session based on either their<br />
personal preferences or specifications that are outlined by X applications. This includes customizing<br />
the keyboard and mouse input settings, display and screen settings and fonts.<br />
Keyboard Mapping<br />
X Window is essentially a window-type graphical user interface designed for UNIX. Users interact<br />
with it primarily by either typing or pointing-and-clicking with a mouse. Therefore, the ability to<br />
accurately and effectively communicate with the X application using the input devices is crucial.<br />
Out of the box, <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> supports 16 pre-configured keyboard mapping files, including<br />
US, UK, French, German and Spanish keyboard mappings. If there is a need to modify an existing<br />
keyboard file or create a new one, <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> offers the XKeys utility which is part of the<br />
<strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> Server for Windows installation. XKeys is a Windows application that allows<br />
administrators to modify or create additional keyboard mappings, if necessary. Each physical key<br />
can be mapped to any keysym from one of the 26 symbol sets. Administrators can also use this<br />
application to create keyboard layouts other than the standard 101 and 102 keyboard layouts.<br />
And to top it off, <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> and <strong>Exceed</strong> keyboard mappings are interchangeable. Existing<br />
keyboard mappings that were created for <strong>Exceed</strong> can be used by <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong>. This capability<br />
guarantees maximum compatibility between the two software packages. It also benefits users who<br />
access both <strong>Exceed</strong> and <strong>Exceed</strong> <strong>onDemand</strong> on different occasions — they will not have to remap,<br />
or worse, re-learn all the keystrokes.<br />
