Hello!
I'm using dosbox 0.74-4.2+b1 on Debian 9.
I would like to change the default binding for hand_pause from Alt-Pause to Alt-p, so I defined in ~/.dosbox/mapper-0.74.map:

1hand_pause "key 112 mod2"

And after this, pressing Alt-p indeed pauses the emulation, but I cannot resume by pressing this combination again. In fact, it requires pressing Alt-Pause to resume. Is there some hidden 'hand_resume' event which I can define?

Any insight on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

EDIT: minor change

yep you are correct.
The pause loop has its own keyboard handling which doesn't use the mapper and thus can't be customized.

Thanks for the über-quick response! Due to my keyboard's absense of a dedicated PAUSE key, I worked around the issue by performing a quick 'dirty' hack to PauseDOSBox() in sdlmain.cpp.

1if(event.key.keysym.sym==SDLK_p) {
2
3				paused=false;
4				GFX_SetTitle(-1,-1,false);
5				break;
6			}

Thank you very much for explaining the issue and this wonderful piece of software!
