Title: key mapping in shell
Post by: charlesa on June 05, 2004, 02:14:30 pm

Hi all -

Another starter question i am sure some of you have run into ... in a shell I notice that the \"\" key isnt mapping properly. I am using the KeyHelper applet to deliver a proper CTL key mapping on the 1st Japanese key (it works fine), but cant get it to recognize Fn-F as \"\".  what is wierd is that this key maps fine in the UI apps, but in a shell Fn-F comes out as \"yen symbol\", while in the UI Fn-F maps as \"\"!!  

Conversely, in the UI both Fn-F and Fn-K map as \"\"!  I can\'t get any yen symbol.  In the shell both these keys are yen...

Does anyone know a workaround?  sure is a bummer not to have  in a shell!

TIA,

C.

It the font (lcfont) in the Japanese system  and Yen have the same keycodes, depending on the font you use you get one or the other.

Thx!  In the interim I have flashed the Cacko 121 rom so this keymapping issue is not an issue...
