Re: [hatari-devel] Hatari keyboard mapping

[Bob Carpenter <hatari@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Miguel,

Actually, I have already set my keyboard preferences to use set the function keys to be standard keys. Unfortunately, I do not see the scan code changing in Hatari whether I press fn or not. However, I have resolved the problem with Thomas’ help by reassigning F11 to Help and F12 to Undo. That works for me.

On Mac, function keys 1...8 have two modes. See "preferences system / keyboard" -> "Use all F1, F2 etc keys as standard keys .......etc "

Keys 9 to 12 have modes more complicated with use of "alt" and/or "ctrl".

You can experiment result with  "Key Codes.app".  Perhaps this help you.

Bob, the doc-directory is of course included in the .dmg:s I create.

Thomas,

Thank you for the information. I agree that the Ctrl was not a good example. I was hoping to use the Mac Command key (corresponds to Windows key) with a function key for the Help and Undo keys. Unfortunately, unlike a PC keyboard, there are very few unused keys on a Mac keyboard.

I still hope to see the HTML manual updated because OS X users will rarely download the source code to even see the doc directory.

I have one other question. Using the SDL menu, I was trying to remove the Without modifier option for both Toggle fullscreen and Edit Settings. I could not find a way to tell Hatari that I did not want any key to represent these shortcuts. I only wanted to use the “With modifier” option. Most of my settings files are saved in the pre-2.0 format. They probably go back many versions of Hatari. Somehow, I did get the “Without modifier” setting to not have a key in one of the setting files and I simply saved that setting file with the new settings. I tried going directly to the .cfg files and removing the shortcut key, but that did not help.
