Greetings,I needed to do,what is in the following howto,so I just tested this method as working & consulted with Mr.Hall,who advised to share my experience & howto based on it with the rest of the FreeDOS community,so for the other users I will

Well, a XT/PC keyboard will only work with an XT or PC, and an AT
keyboard will

do you mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOSKEY ?

is this available?

Hi Piotr,
yes, interesting idea. I can live with such a solution.
I don’t know any words in German beginning with a double letter ;)
So - let me know, how can I implement this to us it in my text editor (VED Text
editor by preference)
Is it a macro or how does it work?
Best,
Thomas

Beside that any trickery with the keyboard controller would only work on
an AT keyboard, where the controller chip is actually on the motherboard
of the computer, and thus accessible with an I/O port, on XT/PC
keyboards the controller is in
Hi Eric,
I only now saw your earlier email with your detailed ideas how to approach the
question.
I would only need letters a-z to be shifted.

Well,
If I were making something to support typing those extra/alternate characters,
the driver would probably behave like this…
Normal typing and continuous key press would behave as normal. This includes
key repeating at the set typographic rate.
I would implement some of the techniques
Hi!
So it would need a »timer« to count from pressed key to released. if >500 ms,

We understood that. But be aware that you normally set the
typematic function to start typing MULTIPLE characters after
a selectable delay of between 250 and (at most) 1000 msec.
So if
Yes, if I release the key under e.g. 500 Milliseconds, it would be the lower
case letter, if I hold it 500 ms and more, it would return a Upper case
(shifted) letter.

it should send an ASCI

Hi!
Indeed I was hinting at "manipulating 40:17 does not automatically
sync the physical LED, but we might not care for auto shift anyway".
Regarding your idea to show shift LED status on screen, check out
the old LOCKTONE with audible feedback: https://auersoft.eu/soft/

The LED status is contained in the BIOS Data

You might be able to do
