Keyboard
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
This page outlines keyboard behavior specific to different host operating systems, real keyboards and emulated machines.
|
|
|
|
Host systems
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Windows
|
|
^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
* Not all multimedia function keys can 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.
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
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 :kbd:`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:

Special keys
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Some keyboards 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.
|
|
|
|
Multimedia keys
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
Passthrough of Microsoft multimedia function keys such as :kbd:`Volume Up` and :kbd:`Play/Pause` can be disabled through the *Inhibit multimedia keys* option in the :ref:`Preferences window <usage/menubar:Tools>`.
|

|
