- 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.
