Same English (Australian ) US Keyboard ' gives # # also gives # so don't have the ' I also get repeated key, but not sure how to make it happen consistently Originally when I was typing this command. It is wrong syntax but started repeating the closing bracket before the command was sent. BOX 100,100,100,100,RGB(RED),RGB(RED) ... the last ) just repeated then. F4 H7FotSF4xGT |

New version with more improvements to keyboard/language. MMBasic.zip US is tested with onscreen keyboard and works perfectly for me - please could someone confirm with a real keyboard For France and Germany accent keys (e.g. circumflex) need double click as per normal use to give a single character. This needed a time-delay to get working. If you have a slower PC and it doesn't work let me know and I'll increase the timer Note back single quote will always show as a degree-symbol as this is what is set in the fonts UPDATE 15:00 UTC Swedish keyboard added Edited 2022-02-01 00:56 by matherp |

[Feedback for PA7] Hi Peter, this version works even better! But Shift+84 should be ASCII ^58 = : (was already working in PA6) Shift+93 is now circumflex. So now we have three times that circumflex.  I don't know if that's your intention.` EDIT: The 2. PA7 returns for shift+93 the degree sign. Better! Key 92 works now perfectly. I get for one keystrike a circumflex or (with shift) the degree sign. Many thanks Michael Strange: I get a virus alarm for the 2.

pa9 MMBasic.zip Hopefully fixes the last bits on the FR and DE keyboards You can now run MMbasic with the name of a program to load and run e.g. from a DOS BOX mmbasic benchmark will run the program "benchmark.bas". If the program doesn't exist then MMBasic will just start normally at the command prompt |

@twofingers I thought I did it already? There was a picture containig a "wanted" and a "currently" code generated with pa3. wanted has meant the code it should be in german and "currently" was what Peters pa3 generated. https://www.thebackshed.com/forum/ViewTopic.php?FID=16&TID=14518#181313#181284 -andreas |

Sorry but all that works as tested by me and twofingers if you are using a standard DE keyboard. Try OPTION RESET and start again with just OPTION KEYBOARD DE to start |

can you specify a path in option default path ? I can't because in pa9 is no \ I'm using an IBM Model "m" and a perixx keyboard Im running wine under debian linux to start MMBasic.exe hmm... I could try to start MMBasic in a virtualbox Windows 10 or 11 - have both here.. -andreas |

Is wine mapping the keys? what happens if you set the keyboard to UK or US? |

I have to look for that - don't know but possible! -anderas |

@Andreas Yes, you did it! (I did not realize that. Sorry! )I don't understand why your table is different from mine. I would expect them to be identical. For UK layout I get the backslash with the key 92 (^) left of the "1". Very cool!

I tested pa9 with a nativ Windows 10 Fujitsu Notebook, german keyboard layout: works good! I could not start MMBasic within VirtualBox 6.1 under Windows 7 & Windows 10. - it shows a white window. Under wine/linux pa5 seems to be the best for me. I put some additional labels on the keys ;-) So wine seems to have some hidden layer which does not fit - when I open the command windows CMD under wine and type any key, it is correct according to my keyboard but not together with MMBasic :-/ But this is my problem, not yours  -andreas |

Great work! The repeating colon seems to be gone. Did you find the specific problem or did solving other keyboard issues fix it coincidentally? |
