For a Sun Ray Client, there are a number of predefined hot keys that can trigger an activity or event on a client, which are shown in Table 10.1, “Sun Ray Client Hot Keys”. The key sequences can be either a Sun-specific key combination (using keys that might exist only on Sun keyboards) or by an alternative key combination that does not require Sun-specific keys.
The activities controlled by these hot keys are specific to a Sun Ray Client. Desktop software running in the Sun Ray session might provide a separate keyboard shortcut facility that provides additional hot keys for desktop activities, perhaps including the ability to launch certain programs.
By default,the alternative prefix key combinations are Ctrl-Pause
and Ctrl-Shift-Alt-Meta. The Ctrl-Pause key sequence is used
throughout this documentation. The Ctrl-Shift-Alt-Meta key
combination can be changed through the Advanced menu of the
Configuration GUI (Enter Alternative STOP modifiers) or the
stopkeys keyword in the
.parms file. It can be set to any combination
of the four keys, but at least two must be used.
The Meta key has different names on different keyboards: on a PC keyboard, it is the "Windows" key, and on a Mac keyboard, it is the "Command" key.

Stop-V | Ctrl-Pause-V | Shows the Sun Ray Client's model, MAC address, and firmware version. |
Ctrl-Alt-Bksp-Bksp | Ctrl-Alt-Bksp-Bksp | Terminates a session. This hot key cannot be reconfigured to another value, but it can be disabled. For details, see the utxconfig man page. |
Ctrl-Alt-Del-Del | Ctrl-Alt-Del-Del | Terminates the process that has taken control of the X server. |
There are also hot keys to used to launch the
utsettings or utdetach Sun
Ray utilities. You can configure these hot key sequences through
your $HOME/.utslaunch.properties file, or
these can be set by the administrator at the site-wide bases. See
Section 10.10, “Configuring the Utility Hot Keys” for details.
