Has there been any progress towards allowing button combinations involving the Alt key? like Alt F1, Alt F2 etc.

They don't seem to do anything in The Settlers 2: Gold Edition (When the winter cheat is active). You use these combinations to adjust the speed of the game once the cheat mode is active, otherwise your limited to only normal and 2x speed 😒

hmm that is odd. Do the F-keys work properly normally in dosbox ?
(be sure to have the F-Lock key setup correctly)

Uhm, I meant in the DOSBox config file I had to disable the "usescancodes" setting, after that the Alt-F# key combinations worked fine.
