I have an odd key mapping problem. Hatari, as of Sun Dec 16 13:31:19

updated. Keyboard is a Logitech USB keyboard. evemu-describe does not
return any identifiers.
Hatari appears to be swapping the `/~ key with the \/| key. That is to
get | I have to press ~. That's a bit of a problem.
Different TOS versions map Atari scancodes to different keys, and
individual Atari programs can also install their own key mapping
tables too.
As to Hatari side, there are 2 different methods for providing Atari
keyboard scancodes to emulation, one based on libSDL key scancodes,
and one based on libSDL key symbols.
Have you tried both? And a TOS version which key mapping is closest
to what you want?
If you need to experiment, I'd recommend EmuTOS:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/emutos/files/emutos/0.9.10/emutos-256k-0.9.10.zip/download
So I created a scancode file:
`,29
~,29
\,2b
|,2b
The 2b codes work correctly, and | shows up on the | key. However, the
~ key now acts like it's the insert key, and returns 0 and hex 52
('R'). Not good.
Any ideas on how to improve this?
Hatari includes tools to investigate what SDL and Atari scancodes
you actually get:
