Color settings

In SecureCRT by default colors are not shown up. You have to modify some settings:

securecrt-settings

Currently ANSI colors are developed for PuTTY color settings, but SecureCRT can tamed to it. Either in Global settings as below or per connection settings, the ANSI color codes can be modified as below:

securecrt-ansicolors

Here is a snippet from configuration file which you can use to match PuTTY default color settings and setup a nice looking colorset:
(Edit your session file located in C:\Users{YOURUSER}\AppData\Roaming\VanDyke\Config\Sessions)

D:"ANSI Color"=00000001
D:"Color Scheme Overrides Ansi Color"=00000000
S:"Emulation"=Linux
S:"Default SCS"=B
D:"Use Global ANSI Colors"=00000000
B:"ANSI Color RGB"=00000040
  00 00 00 00 bb 00 00 00 00 bb 00 00 bb bb 00 00 00 00 bb 00 bb 00 bb 00 00 bb bb 00 bb bb bb 00
  55 55 55 00 ff 55 55 00 55 ff 55 00 ff ff 55 00 55 55 ff 00 ff 55 ff 00 55 ff ff 00 ff ff ff 00

It is also possible to copy the text with coloring:

securecrt-copycolor

Keymap

You can use this config snippet to have SHIFT=F1-F8 shortcuts clicol will recognize. Edit your session file located in C:\Users{YOURUSER}\AppData\Roaming\VanDyke\Config\Sessions\

Z:"Keymap v3"=00000008
S VK_F1 "\033[25~"
S VK_F2 "\033[26~"
S VK_F3 "\033[28~"
S VK_F4 "\033[29~"
S VK_F5 "\033[31~"
S VK_F6 "\033[32~"
S VK_F7 "\033[33~"
S VK_F8 "\033[34~"

Note: The number 8 is representing the number of entries so may edit that if you have other mappings.
