Hi all,

In my DOS app Ctrl-F9 is a useful shortcut. But at the same time this key combination closes DOSBox. How can I alter this behavior?

Thanks,

I don't know about that School Pak thing, but yes, Turbo Pascal and Turbo C uses a lot of CTRL-Fn keys. I have unmapped these keys:

# OBS: Turbo C uses CTRL-Fn for many menu short-cuts:
#
# CTRL-F1 = Show help (in Editor)
# CTRL-F2 = Program reset
# CTRL-F3 = Call stack
# CTRL-F4 = Evaluate
# CTRL-F7 = Add watch
# CTRL-F8 = Toggle breakpoint
# CTRL-F9 = Run
#
# CTRL-F1 (Mapper), CTRL-F4 (Swap Image), CTRL-F7 (Dec Fskip),
# CTRL-F8 (Inc Fskip) and CTRL-F9 (ShutDown) are all used by
# DOSBox. So for effective use, all these mappings should be
# deleted (or changed) using the keymapper.
