Further findings on E71 keyboard:
"Funct key", "Shift Key" and "Ctrl Chr" keys do not produce keycodes, they only produce scancodes (25,18 and 24 respectively)
more surprisingly
@ key, = key and () key produces keycodes (64, 61 and 40 respectively) and scancodes (64, 126 and 124) but dosbox does not capture them.
I'm no expert in these things but I think, to fully utilize E71s keyboard (and probably E90s, E60, E62, E63, E75s and also any BT keyboard) dosbox has to capture scancodes as well.
If SDL provides keycodes to dosbox, this may become a more difficult problem than it is already.
I noticed that if you delete mapper.txt file, you can use E71 keyboard normally and even type capital letters in the command line by holding down Shift key. Fn key does not work though. Bigger problem though is the inability to use right mouse click on E71 because # and * keys are used in combination with Fn. Any suggestions how right click can be used on E71 ? 😈
