It was indicated by jhall in his fosdem talk earlier today that this would be the appropriate place to post this little utility I wrote a few years ago, and that it might be of interest to the people here: https://github.com/jtsiomb/capsmap
I usually remap caps lock to something more useful (ctrl) on all my systems, and since I've been doing some retrocoding under DOS in the past few years, it was annoying me that I didn't have that functionality. So I wrote this simple TSR to do caps-lock remapping. It basically sets up a keyboard interrupt handler which handles capslock keypresses, by either changing the BIOS modifier flags or appending to the BIOS keyboard buffer (mapping is a compile-time option). For any other key event, it just jumps to the original interrupt handler to let the BIOS deal with it. I placed the code in the public domain, so there shouldn't be any licensing issues if you decide this is useful enough to include in the FreeDOS distribution. Also I'm only ever using it for remapping caps->ctrl, so for me the compile-time choice of the mapping is sufficient and I did not have much incentive to make it more complicated than that, but if more people are interested in using it, I could improve it to make that a command-line option. Either way, let me know if you try it and have any feedback. Builds with nasm and make, but pre-compiled binaries are included in the 1.0 release on github. -- John Tsiombikas http://nuclear.mutantstargoat.com/ _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
