And you can simulate them. To send Alt-F5 you type Ctrl-6 a Ctrl-6 5.
Here is the doc extracted from my program source:
; DosEmu key sequences (all start from code 1Eh):
; 1234567890-= F1-F12
; ?hH help
; acgsACGS Alt Ctrl rAlt Shift (uppercase=stick)
; with k: 789456123 Home,Up,PgUp,Left,'5',Right,End,Down,PgDn
; 0/*-+<Enter> Ins,/,*,-,+,Enter
; other: 1Eh,'k' is ignored and the code is passed
; with K: dhnpsy. eDel,Pause,NumLock,PrtSc/SysReq,ScrollLock,
SysReq,eDel
; (case ignored)
; digits: same as with k except enhanced unless 5.
; what with '<'? scan code 56h (57h=F11, 58h=F12)
For instance, for DosEmu to see SysReq (Alt-PrtSc) you need send:
Ctrl-6 a Ctrl-6 K p (enable Alt and send PrtSc/SysReq).
Seems there are some bugs in DosEmu (seems I tested it up to 0.98.8):
it cannot get Del (only Enhanced Del), and it cannot get normal '<'
- I remember some problems with Norton Commander because of it.
