David Alan Gilbert <gilbertd@...> :


;The problem is the mapping of unshifted/shifted keystrokes -
;for example when the user presses the shift key I tell the beeb
;the shift is down by setting the bit in the keyboard matrix
;so it finds it next time it scans.  However on my PC ':' is
;shift with ';' - so the beeb is given the keycode for the ':' and '*'
;key and also a shift - so it types a '*'.


i found this inconvenient at first but i decided to keep it this way,
just takes a bit of getting used to. moving keys around might affect
games in which keys are expected to be certain places.


;P.S. As far as I can tell the keyboard matrix in the AUG is wrong - rows
;1-6 are inverted and the 9 and the I are swapped.

the AUG is far from infallible.
