Simply, the problem is that 'Delete' key produces a . (dot) mark.
I'm using Keyb (from FreeDOS) to get alphabets like ä and ö working (using the finnish (SU) layout). When looking into keymapper, 'Delete' key is assigned to 'key_delete' (or something like that) like it should be, but no matter what / where it doesn't delete anything, just gives me dots.
Any ideas? 😄
The "normal" delete key should work, even if keyb is loaded.
And try it with numlock enabled/disabled, as DEL is affected
by it (at least i think that...)
Tried that now, 'Num Lock' doesn't have any effect on either Delete keys working.
Also, I found out that if I delete the "keyb su" line from dosbox.conf (autoexec part), thus not loading the keyb at all, both deletes work like they are supposed to.
The specific I'm using is http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/fre … /keyb/kblayout/ > kpdos22s.zip > Source/Keydos/Su.key , but I couldn't make much sense of the contents 😒
Any more kind advices? 😀
Will test the layout you mentioned.
In the meanwhile, you could try a CVS build (see the dev forum where
to get one) to see if it works any different there.
Works fine for me using a CVS build.
Strange O.o
I tried CVS build along with MKeyb, K3Plus and the regular Keyb, with Keyb working the best but still producing . marks :|
Forgot to ask, can you reproduce the error I'm having with a normal build or is it just me?
Didn't test the 0.63 release.
You could try the freedos keyb (both older versions and the
keyb2pre3) under real dos, maybe this is just how they implemented
it (read something similar on their forum).
Seems to be related to the pre3-version of keyb, the del-key
produces dots on a real system as well. So it is not dosbox related.
Maybe you can find an older version of keyb (pre1 seems to work).
Pre1 did it, simple as that! :D
Problem solved, tho I'm almost embarrased I didn't realize to try an earlier build of keyb myself. Thanks for help! :)
