- EditKeys allows you to edit or create keymap files (They are found in the
- Devs/Keymaps/ directory of the boot disk). If you don't know about these
- files, then perhaps I should explain.
-
- When you press a key on the Amiga's keyboard, the key press is translated by
- the keymap file that the system is using. For instance, British Amigas use
- the keymap 'gb'. Different keymaps can be found on the system disks
- supplied with your Amiga. They are found in:
-
- AmigaDOS 1.3 Extras1.3:Devs/keymaps/
- AmigaDOS 2.0 Extras2.0:Devs/Keymaps/
- AmigaDOS 3.0 Storage3.0:Keymaps/
-
- Under AmigaDOS 2.1 and higher keymaps have icons, and are loaded into the
- system with the Input prefs editor (or the SetKeyboard command). With
- earlier releases, keymaps are loaded with the SetMap program, found in the
- System drawer of the boot disk. If you load a keymap different to your
- native one, you will find typing some keys gives unexpected results
- (especially the non-alphanumeric keys (eg. [,;,# )).
-
- Keymaps can be changed to give more radical results; you could redefine the
- numerical keypad to produce alphabetic characters if you wanted to, or you
- can configure keys to output strings (useful for disk-menus etc.).
