This article describes a function or feature of the software ZOC Terminal. The feature or element of the software described here is 'Local Typing'. ZOC Terminal is a professional terminal emulator that is well known for its extensive features, security, user friendlyness, wide range of emulations and quality of emulation implementation. ZOC Terminal is a common choice to replace other terminal emulators like Putty, Kitty, Termius, Secure-CRT, Attachmate Extra!and others.

The Local Typing line is an entry field into which you can enter text to be sent to the host. The text is editable and it is not sent until you press Enter. This is helpful if you are in an online conference or if you use a remote shell that does not provide command editing and history.

The Local Typing line can be activated from Options→Session Profile→Window Parts or by pressing Alt+C or by pressing the Scroll-Lock key (the latter, only if defined accordingly in Options→Session Profile→Terminal Options).

If the cursor is in the Local Typing line, you can discard it by pressing ESC or Scroll-Lock key. With the line open Alt+C will toggle the cursor between the main window and the Local Typing line.

You can use arrow keys to retrieve the last few lines you typed (this works like the command history in an Windows shell).
