Keyboard
|
||||
========
|
||||
|
||||
This page outlines keyboard behavior specific to different host operating systems, real keyboards and emulated machines.
|
||||
|
||||
Host systems
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
Windows
|
||||
^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
* Multimedia keys such as **Volume Up/Down** cannot be passed through to the emulated machine due to a Windows limitation.
|
||||
* System-wide key remapping through the **Scancode Map** registry key (as performed by applications such as SharpKeys) is fully supported.
|
||||
|
||||
macOS
|
||||
^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
* Apple keyboards with **European or other ISO layouts** may have *the key below Esc* and *the key to the right of Left Shift* switch places in the emulated machine, due to a hardware quirk in many of those keyboards (both internal and external) and a limitation in the way macOS corrects it.
|
||||
* The **Num =** key is only usable in operating systems which recognize that key on Microsoft PS/2 multimedia keyboards.
|
||||
* Mac special keys are mapped to their PC equivalents where possible:

* - Insert
|
||||
- Command + Fn + Delete (MacBook and tenkeyless keyboards)
|
||||
|
||||
Command + Forward Delete (full size keyboards)
|
||||
|
||||
* - Num Lock
|
||||
- Clear
|
||||
|
||||
Linux
|
||||
^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
* The `xkbcommon <https://xkbcommon.org>`_ library is used to accurately map physical keys to the emulated keyboard on both X11 and Wayland. When compiling 86Box from source, make sure the development files for ``libxkbcommon`` and ``libxkbcommon-x11`` are installed, as this is an optional build component.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Special keys
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
Some machines provide additional function or otherwise special keys on top of the standard PC layout. Those keys are mapped to ones present on modern keyboards within reason.
|
||||
|
||||
Olivetti
|
||||
^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
The Olivetti M series special keys are mapped as such:
