Feature Request: remap keyboard

[mvdhoning]

Can it be possible to remap keys? E.g. remap restore to pgdn or \?

I use a 68key (65%) keyboard. And with that i have to use fn with number key to use funtion keys. Also the back arrow is under the escape key when use fn. But in practice this means i cannot do runstop restore. As to do F11 (restore) i have to use fn but then escape (run stop) becomes back arrow.

i asume escape is runstop but i am not certain as that is not listed in the doc where i downloaded the fpga64 core.

only keys with no mapping are del (end) and pgdn.

sidenote doing ctrl =+ key makes a freeze. is that also mapped to something special?

You can remap keys in "Button/Key remap". In general reduced keyboards aren't good choice for MiSTer because retro computers occupy almost all keys of base PC keyboard and some additional functions require extended keys.

Help me a little with "Button/Key remap" where do i find that?

went hunting in the sources for the firmware regarding the mist.ini and found key_remap. with some experimenting i discovered that it needs ps2 keycodes and the first is the key you want to bind a value to and the second is the key that it has to become. key_remap=31,44 key_remap=4C,31 so for now i changed \ to F11 and END to \ also somewhat mimics the prints on my china budget c64 look alike keycaps. but with this working i feel there is no more need for this feature request. so i close it. what could be a request but not for here is more documentation on the mist.ini or more documentation in general.

Documentation is fortunately something where most people can contribute.

Sorry about my comment. I've got several new issues about C64 core and didn't see this one is in MiST repo.
