Suggestion: Key mapping to JIS 'ロ(Ro)' key #434

Open basic2004 opened 6 years ago

basic2004 commented 6 years ago

Dosbox-X with PC-98 or DOS/V when host keyboard is not JP layout, can't input 'Ro(0x73)' key. I thought alternate mapping, this key to other key. I suggest 'Application key', this is nearer with right shift, and this isn't used before Windows 9x. Can we make this option in [dos] section of dosbox.conf?

I have a USB keyboard with the JP layout that I will plug into Windows 10 soon to re-work the scan code handling to better map the keys properly.

EDIT: I am not rejecting the suggestion, I think that's a good idea.

@basic2004 I have reworked the code to support a JP keyboard on the host and map input to PC-98 mode using the same layout and shift states as an actual PC-98 keyboard.

I still do not have a default mapping for Ro on US keyboards, but you can go into the mapper interface and map Ro to any key you want now.

I've added a dynamic remapping in the mapper. If the host keyboard is not Japanese, and the emulation is in PC-98 mode, the windows menu key is remapped to Ro. The mapping is made so that removing the Ro binding restores the Windows menu key.

See if that works for you.

I will close this issue unless @basic2004 still considers this an unsolved problem.

Thanks, I confirmed but too late response... sorry.

I tell more suggestion, Application key should'nt remap to Ro when pc-98 force ibm keyboard layout is true.

And I pressed Grave(Tilde) key but this pressed like Escape maybe this mapped STOP key in native PC98 layout, currently no way to input At(@) and Tilde(~) natively.
