I've just tried it... actually, I was testing to see whether it would work in X, but SimCoupe happened to be running already. :-) One problem with SimCoupe: if you're using a real SAM as the keyboard, you presumably don't want the "SAM" mapping mode... but the "raw" mode doesn't map the "-=[];',./" keys to the keys in corresponding positions on a SAM. (BTW, I've just tried using Dvorak in SimCoupe and it works as I'd expect -- the emulated SAM stays with QWERTY, but the UI does the right thing. Nice one, Si!) The other glitch I've noticed with SimCoupe (but it applies to other programs too) is with caps lock... ideally, it should not change X's caps lock state (except in GUI, obviously). I can imagine that being SDL's fault, though. The last problem is with my code... You can't press the numeric keypad keys as they've been mapped to the function keys. > I think it's an interesting project, even if it's not all that useful to > most people. People felt the same way about my Lenslok emulator (and were > right). Thanks. :-) The Lenslok emulator looks cool, although I've not used anything that needs it, yet. Cheers, -- Stuart Brady
