===================================================================
The Macintosh Keymap
===================================================================
ISOLatin1 is a keymap that allows access to Macintosh special characters. It's
a copy of the USA1 keymap with extra mappings for the CTRL-ALT and
CTRL-SHIFT-ALT qualifiers, that work like the ALT and SHIFT-ALT keys on the
Macintosh extended keyboard.
To use it, copy it to DEVS:Keymaps:
1.SYS:> copy ISOLatin1 devs:keymaps
and activate it with SetMap:
1.SYS:> SetMap ISOLatin1
You can then use the Amiga keyboard to get those Macintosh keyboard
equivelants. Keymaps for font specific or Apple Standard encoded typefaces
are included with the typeface packages, or you can print a copy on a
service bureau's Macintosh using programs like FontDisplay 2.0.
In Professional Page, you must still use the special keycode sequences
described in the PPage manual to get some characters. The extra keys have
no meaning to Adobe Standard (or other standard) encoded typefaces.
BUG: For some fascinating reason, the USA1 keymap has "SHIFT-Space" defined
and PPage gives an "em-space" with this key. Under ISOLatin1, SHIFT-Space
doesn't work, even though the keycode for SHIFT-Space is 64 on both keymaps.
If anyone knows a good keymap editor that works in Workbench 2.0, tell me
about it and I'll make a better version of ISOLatin1.
ANOTHER BUG: One key combination (CTRL-ALT-MINUS) could not be defined
using SetKey 1.0 (CodeWorks), so you must use CTRL-ALT-KEYPAD_MINUS instead.
This gives the "en-dash" character.
It's not perfect, but it works good enough, and it's not really needed unless
you're used to Macintosh keymaps.
