Which key is mapped to Amiga right alt

browniesrgut · 19 December 2012, 21:38

Hello and thank you Frode for this wonderful emulator,

Speaking of which... I was trying to play Slamtilt the other day and i searched for the "right alt" to flip the right... err flip, equivalent key on my pc keyboard but with no luck... Can you tell me to which pc key is mapped the Amiga "Right Alt" key, please ?

I'm using version the 2.1.10 dev version on ubuntu 12.04 x64.

Thanks a lot

Browny.

The right alt key (alt gr) is mapped against Amiga right alt. But.. I decided to check before posting the answer, and it doesn't work here on my Ubuntu box either

Will check it out further (and fix it of course).

OK, it looks like the problem was introduced with this change in version 1.3.13:

Code:

Alter keycode mapping on Linux to make it work with both evdev and kdb Xorg drivers, and not just evdev mappings

- the "mode" key is no longer recognized as right alt. Will fix in 2.1.13.

In the meantime, you can probably temporarily fix it with the config:

Code:

keyboard_key_mode = action_key_alt_right

No problem, and it should be fixed in version 2.1.13 and later
