SEARCH the forum for similar problems with other non-UK keyboards.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I already did that and unfortunately it didn't help me much.

I see people are recomending an app. called KEYB from FreeDOS, but that doesn't work for me.

My problem is that I can't write ":", which means that I can't mount anything into dosbox, including the folder with KEYB.

If you know of any relevant threads (without having to search for it) it would be nice if you could link to it here. I may have missed something, but it's going to take days to get through all the post that might be relevant.

All i need is the ":" to be assigned to one of my buttons.

Isn't there something about writing "key_colon" or something into the command file? It saied so in the readme, but it wasn't explained how to actually do it. My computer skills are limited, but I think I could do it if somebody just gave me some step-by-step instructions. I couldn't find anything like that in previous posts.

Thanks again for the reply.

Keep trying keystrokes combinations. On my Spanish keyboard the colon is located at SHIFT-ñ

I've tried every key combination possible, I think. And anyways, none of the special keys on Norwegian keyboard work in Dosbox for mac, so I cant really make use of them in any combination.
The colon-sign is not even listed in the keymapper application, so I guess there is no way to make this app. work on a mac with non-US keyboard.

P.S. The PC i tried it on also had a norwegian keyboard, but there the special keys actually worked.

I give up. This is annoying and slightly aggrevating, so I'm hereby throwing Dosbox in the trash.

Wait! Do not give up yet. Have you tried a front-end? It should be more user-friendly.

If your special keys don't show any output in DOSBox, then it could be that SDL has problems with your platform. Unfortunately, it is difficult to diagnose this problem when none of the developers have a scandinavian OSX machine.

To get the colon key on an english keyboard, you would press shift-semicolon. So you could try mapping the semicolon key somewhere, and use that to get the colon.
