Programmable Function Keys #96

Closed eightbitswide closed 10 months ago

eightbitswide commented 10 months ago

Would it be possible to have definable function keys which could be configured in the autoexec.txt file at boot up?

Sample configuration:

F1="SAVE \""
F2="LOAD \"
F3="*BYE<CR>"
F4="AED "
F5="LOAD BBCBASIC.BIN<CR>"
F6="RUN<CR>"
F7="LIST<BR>"

Should this be a MOS command instead, like *KEY on the old BBC Micro? Of course the VDP must also be able to pass the Function keys to MOS.

Although I can see why you might add it to VDP (for example making it easier to encode multiple-lines as in the above example), I agree it should probably be in MOS (not least because you'd need to check for an assigned macro against every keypress). I've put together a simple PR for this (and one other) bit of functionality here.

As noted already, this is functionality that is better placed in MOS than the VDP codebase.

This was already raised as an issue there as AgonConsole8/agon-mos#8

Closing.
