sQLux v1.0 (The Xmas Turkey)

[Exile]

Wasnt hard, anyone with a basic knowledge of C could have found I missed some mappings.

As XorA knows, I did, but about 15 minutes after it was fixed

If no one else is planning to work on it, I'm happy to implement the first pass for Spanish keyboard support at the weekend, but

I dont notice because Macs all come with USA keyboards even in UK!

this shows that I will need support from someone with a real Spanish keyboard for testing before creating a pull request.

I had a look on the Online SuperBASIC Manual, as that has a section on keyboards at https://superbasic-manual.readthedocs.i ... rd-layouts, but unfortunately, no Spanish one.


If anyone has a keyboard of the named versions already present, would you mind having a look at the appropriate keyboard layout and confirm if everything is ok. Thanks. If not, let me know what's broken, other than the membrane , and I'll get it fixed.


Cheers,
Norm.

You also need to know what a PC Spanish keyboard looks like. As its the mapping from that!

I did not write the mapping code, but it should be flexible enough for anyone with access to a XX QL and XX PC keyboard to do the mapping for their favourite language!

Hello. What would be necessary?

Could maybe this thread help?

This document is the concept guide in Spanish, which contains the character table.

I will be happy to compile and test the new version with Spanish keyboard to give you feedback.

Thanks for that image of the Spanish QL keyboard. I have added it to the appendix for the Online SuperBASIC manual. A build is executing, even as I type. It should be available in about 5 minutes, depending on server load.

I have consulted that site on several occasions, and it has always been very useful. Congratulations.

That's great, thank you. I'll need to map the keys from a standard modern Spanish keyboard to the QL keycodes so the concept section is ideal.

The plan is to map from the layout shown at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Q ... panish.svg

It appears to match what I get if I select a Spanish keyboard on my Raspberry Pi

I'll put something together over the weekend and post a link to a github branch that can be compiled.

Excellent!

Rich, of RWAP fame, is responsible for the content. It was originally a book to purchase. I merely got involved in converting the text from really nasty HTML exported from the original sources in Text87 format, to what you see today.

Cheers,
