Hardware / Re: USX keyboard layout
« on: March 26, 2023, 03:29:47 pm »
To follow up on your last question: my main concern wasn't being able to use the UX keyboard under codepage 932. It was the inability to use it at all (even for 850) when specifying it as the keyboard layout in CONFIG.SYS.
However, it does look as if using the WPS keyboard object lets me select it subsequently, even though I get a warning popup.
Trying to use UX specific key combinations in a command prompt after doing this seems to work under codepage 850. Under codepage 932, I just get garbage glyphs in place of any non-ASCII character (as I normally get for double-byte characters, given this is not a DBCS system).
If KEYBOARD.DCP were to be modified for UX+932, I would probably suggest replacing any unsupported character with ? or similar. I'm not really sure it's needed at this point, though.
