Remap keys doesn't seem to work on windows 7 #135

Closed richard-broadhurst closed 3 years ago

I'm on Windows7 and by default @ (SHIFT ') does not produce (SHIFT :). I do settings|keyboard|remap and click on : and then press the ' key and OK. ' still produces _, not : and SHIFT ' still produces @, not . PS when I press ', it says that it is currently assigned to Alt-4.

Experimenting, I tried to map ' to End and it crashed b-em. I didn't actually want that mapping.

Ok I can reproduce the crash. It seems to be a bit random. I suspect maybe the issue is caused by the keymapper updating a data structure the main window is also using.

Ok, I think I have this fixed now - it was seeing what should have been BBC keycodes as actions (i.e. things that control the emulator itself). That would have accounted for the crash (outside of an array bounds) and the non-working mapping.

Fix is in: https://github.com/stardot/b-em/tree/sf/keymapfix

The fix for this is merged.
