Installing WB31 on FS-UAE 2.8.3 with amiga keyboard

[dlsa]

Hello,

I put toghether a 'franken'-Amiga, with a Raspberry Pi 3B inside a replica of an Amiga 1200 case running raspbian, connected to a real amiga 1200 keyboard that I bought on ebay.

Now I want to install Workbench 3.1 from a set of 6 ADFs. But I cannot make the change of floppy disk right after booting from disk 1. From what I have read, the F12 key is used to open the Launcher window to switch the ADF in the floppy drive. But my real amiga keyboard does not have an F12 key!
Anyone know if I can remap the F12 key to another one, or if there exists an alternative ?

Thanks,
Regards

Hi,
There is a section on keymapping in the fs-uae docs here:
https://fs-uae.net/docs/keyboard-mapping
and more info here:
https://fs-uae.net/docs/input-mapping

I think the line you would need to add would be:
keyboard_key_f10 = keyboard_key_f12
(assuming you would use F10 instead of F12)

You just add the line to your configuration file.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the help. I tried putting that mapping in the configuration file, but when I press the mapped key nothing happened.

Anyway I found out that pressing the forward slash key in the numeric key pad brings up the menu as can be seen in the screenshot

I put the first ADF in the floppy drive and add the remaining ADFs in the Media Swap List of the configuration.
While running the emulator I press the key to this menu and navigating with the arrow keys I can eject and select the ADF that I want to load.

Thanks for the reply. That's a handy trick I didn't know about.

Glad you got everything working.
