Frequently Asked Questions
Why don't Alt+F, Alt+E, Alt+V etc. open the File / Edit / View menus?
IMTerm deliberately does not intercept Alt+letter keys at the application level. Those key combinations are standard in terminal sessions: Alt+F moves the cursor forward one word in bash, Alt+B moves backward, Alt+D deletes a word, and many host applications use Alt keys for their own functions. Capturing them for menu navigation would silently swallow keystrokes that the host expects to receive. Use the mouse to open menus, or use the documented Ctrl+* shortcuts listed in Help › Keyboard Reference.
Why does Ctrl+C not copy text from the terminal?
In terminal sessions Ctrl+C sends an interrupt signal to the running process - that is its purpose and IMTerm passes it through to the host. To copy selected text use Ctrl+Shift+C instead. To paste, use Ctrl+Shift+V. These match the conventions of most Linux terminal emulators.
My screen shows question marks instead of Hebrew characters. What's wrong?
The CCSID (character set) in your connection profile does not match your AS/400 system. Open File › New Session, set CCSID to 424 (standard Hebrew) or 803 (older encoding), and reconnect. See the Hebrew Setup tutorial for step-by-step instructions.
The keyboard is locked and I can't type. How do I unlock it?
A locked keyboard is indicated by a red indicator in the OIA status bar at the bottom. Press Ctrl+R (Reset) to unlock. On some screens pressing Escape also clears the lock. If the lock returns immediately, the host is still processing a previous request - wait a moment and try again.
Can IMTerm run without a server - locally on my laptop?
Yes. Run imterm --local from the command line and IMTerm opens directly in your default browser with no server, no Docker, and no network configuration required. The binary is fully self-contained with the web UI embedded. See the Downloads page for the binary for your platform.
Does IMTerm work on Windows?
Yes. Download the Windows binary (imterm.exe) from the Downloads page. For TN3270 connections, place ws3270.exe (from the x3270 project) in the same folder or on your PATH. TN5250 and VT220 work without any additional tools.
Is there a mobile or tablet version?
IMTerm runs in any modern browser including mobile Safari and Chrome for Android. Touch targets in the PF toolbar are automatically enlarged on touch devices. Full keyboard input requires a physical or Bluetooth keyboard for practical terminal use.
How is the license enforced? Does IMTerm phone home?
License validation is fully local - IMTerm reads the license key from an environment variable or config file and verifies it cryptographically without contacting any external server. There is no telemetry, no phone-home, and no online activation. See the Privacy Policy for details.
