Z80-KEYBOARD(5)		       Keyboard mapping		       Z80-KEYBOARD(5)

NAME
       description of keyboard mapping used by IN on port 0.

DESCRIPTION
       If  there  is  no readable file keyboard_map then there is a one-to-one
       mapping of characters to key codes. The key code 0 means	 no  character
       input.

       If  there  is a readable the file keyboard_map , it must contain a map‐
       ping of key codes to characters.	 Each line of this file	 is  either  a
       comment	line  or a mapping line.  A line starting with two hexadecimal
       digits followed by a Space is a mapping line else it is considered as a
       comment line and ignored.

       The  first  two	hexadecimal digits of a mapping line indicate the key‐
       code.  This must be unique in the file. Next  in	 column	 5  follows  a
       printable  character (Ascii code > 32) and a Space or in column 5 and 6
       are two hexadecimal digits or columns 5 and 6 contain both a Space. The
       last  case  indicates  that this key code is unused by the keyboard. In
       the first two cases the character in column 5 respectively the  charac‐
       ter identified by the hexadecimal number in column 5 and 6 is mapped to
       the key code.  If colum 7 exists it must be a Space and further columns
       in the line are ignored.

       The  first  two mapping lines must describe unused key codes. The first
       key code is used to denote the case no key was pressed on the key board
       and  the second mapping line denote the case an unknown character is to
       map to a key code.
