Keyboard configuration??

Cylon · 10 February 2017, 23:22

Maybe this has been answered many times but i cannot find a solution.

I struggle to configure my keyboard to use with WinUAE.
Especially not the A/A/Alt-Keys, but the very common other keys.

Example:
There is a # key on european keyboards, e.g. germans, and i can't freakin find this key in the UAE settings?? The whole Input-settings-page is weird IMHO, but that aside.
I found out the # key should have a scancode of 41/x29. how do i enter this in WinUAE? It should be mapped to x2B on Amiga side.
I really would like to see a visual representation of an actual keyboard to pick the keys, instead of a list with hexcodes i cannot assign.

Edit: I have now tried a different config and it works there. I have no clue at all.

I suppose that you need it for guest (Amiga) side of emulation.
If it is for Amiga side use SetMap command from C: (Amiga directory SYS:c). For example for German key map use "SetMap d". "D" needs to be in DEVS:Keymaps folder. You can also create your key map with utility like SetKey.
Put SetMap command in your S:startup-sequence.

Hm, i don't know. I can check the RAW-keymap using a tool, and this tool shows the '2B' key is raw-mapped to '03' (Amiga side), with SHIFT hold down.
It must be something with the configuration of 'winuae-keyboard' in WinUAE. Unfortunately i can't find this very key, and there is no way i can see to just hit that key to get an option to remap it. This would ease things dramatically, i believe.

What is the actual question?

(How is it going to work if it asks you to press Amiga key to find the keycode you want to map when it is only possible if mapping is already done?)

I want do map a specific pc-kb key which i can't find in the keys list in winuae-inputs.

e.g. i press '#' on my keyboard, the list should jump to that key and let me remap it.

Pressing remap and then pressing key should ask which Amiga key to map to key you pressed.

It gets more complex if you also want to add shift press and release. (Which is possible)

Hm, that kindof works but how do i enter something i can't find in the list popping up? It says 'backslash'. How do i enter something other to change this? I don't really know why this happens only sometimes. Some configs are working fine, still all use 'WinUAE-Keyboard' #configuration1.
I'll test later again with the newest Version on Win7. Don't hold your breath.
