Overview

The mapping of the PC keyboard and the C64 keys can be changed with a desciption file, which can be set in the configuration window:
Keyboard Setting

Instructions

The file contains the mapping in an easy format and can be edit with a normal text editor.

The format is as follows:

A semicolon (;) is used for comments.

The first part of a line until the doublepoint (:) is the name or description of the mapping. There has to be a whitespace before and after the doublepoint.

The next two parts (e.g. { 188 }, { VK_RSHIFT }) are the PC key conditions. A null indicates no condition.

After this one to three parts (e.g. { '-', KEY_RSHIFT }, { 'X', KEY_SEMICOLON }) are following, that describe how the CBM keys should behave:
'0' do nothing
'X' press/release as on PC keyboard
'+' press always

The PC keycode can be given in decimal or textform (as defined in winnt.h, see MSDN). The CBM keys in textform (see below).
