tc 2.x: dosbox and qemu there are no arrow keys (it's probably not sdl)

(1/2) > >>

tobiaus:
in dosbox and qemu in tc 2.x i can't use the arrow keys. if it was just dosbox, or just qemu, i would suspect them.

edit: i thought it was either sdl (which both dosbox and qemu use) or tc itself... but i can use the arrow keys in ff and leafpad (edit: and since there are two different solutions outside sdl, it's probably not sdl.)

curaga:
Both dosbox and qemu have their own set of keymaps, I don't really know why. For me it works to add "-k fi" to the qemu command line, or to edit the dosbox rc file with the "fi" keymap.

edit: here's the relevant section from my .dosboxrc:

--- Quote ---[dos]
# xms -- Enable XMS support.
# ems -- Enable EMS support.
# umb -- Enable UMB support.
# keyboardlayout -- Language code of the keyboard layout (or none).

xms=true
ems=true
umb=true
keyboardlayout=fi

what bothers me is i don't have any keymaps installed (kmaps.tce?) and i never needed them in 1.x. this is one of those things that is suddenly different in 2.x. i'm just using a typical 100-something us keyboard and neither dosbox or qemu did this in tc before.

curaga:
That's rather weird, as I've always had to use those settings to get proper keyboard support, both in TC 2, 1, and other distros.

Qemu's and Dosbox's keymaps are included with them, it wouldn't make sense to separate those since they are only usable by that one app.

but i haven't because i have a us keyboard and it's better than your finnish one (absolutely facetious, although i've really never needed to configure either qemu/dosbox for us keyboard, in ubuntu or windows or tc 1.x.)

no it wouldn't! but if i suddenly have to put a special code in when i start qemu and dosbox fine, so long as one of us lists that code here. and sincerest thanks to your (inferior ;)) finnish keyboard for all the things it's compiled, including qemu.

edit: yes i think adding -k en-us to the other needed options when running qemu solves this issue. i'm going to wait to try doing this with dosbox because i don't want to create a config for it right now, because i don't know a command line option, and because i still think it's odd and new to 2.x. (but thanks again.)
