How to get Home, End, Delete keys working for PuTTY SSH sessions to Cisco ASA?

  • 772

I want to be able to use Home, End and Delete keys when using PuTTY to access the CLI on my Cisco ASAs. Currently when I use these keys I see the ~ character.

I have tried changing the PuTTY session Keyboard setting for Home and End from Standard to rxvt - this resulted in Delete giving ~, Home doing nothing at all, and End giving w.

Is it possible to get my keyboard to behave?

I have this all working fine for connections to Linux, but not Cisco devices.

ssh putty cisco-asa

    In the ASA CLI your home, end and delete functions are replaced by:
    Ctrl+A home
    Ctrl+E end
    Ctrl+D delete

  2. Set Terminal > Keyboard > The function keys and keypad to "SCO"

  3. Try to change the "Terminal-type string" value to linux or putty in putty session settings (Connection -> Data -> Terminal-type string).
