Custom buttons for performing advanced functions

With Flex Terminal Emulator, is there a way to create custom buttons that allow the user to perform functions in the emulator?

Flex Terminal Emulator Extensions is a powerful tool, which provides enhanced functionality and increased productivity for the user.  Included are four system extensions for Notes, PF Keys, Print Multiple Screens on a single page and Screen Recorder, with the ability to create custom extensions containing buttons for performing any Flex Terminal Emulator Action.

Available action assignments include host keys, text strings, macros, Flex Terminal Emulator commands, external programs/documents and more.

All extensions provide:​
  • Ability to float, or dock to any side of the Flex Terminal Emulator workspace window
  • Docked extensions may also be pinned to provide auto-hide capability
  • When multiple extensions are enabled, they can be stacked
Custom extensions allow users to:
  • Set the rows between 1 and 14
  • Set the columns between 1 and 24
  • Customize the background color
  • Set buttons to text only, image only or image with text
  • Use any internal Flex Terminal Emulator image, or import any external image (.bmp, .jpg, .tif, .png and .ico formats are supported)
  • Customize font color
  • Set buttons to perform any Flex Terminal Emulator Action
