- ; This function simulates the scan codes of the 101 keyboard on older 83/84 key
- ; keyboard systems that lack bios support for some often used 101 keyboard
- ; control key combinations. I miss being able to use the Control+Up, which is
- ; one of the key combinations that the old BIOS does not support on my old
- ; machine at home. Not all of the 101 keys are simulated.
- ;
- ; To see if control+up is pressed, we have to look at the keyboard status flags
- ; in the bios data area. The flags at byte 0040:0017 are as follows:
- ;
- ; Bit
- ; 7 Insert state 1 = active, 0 = inactive
- ; 6 Caps Lock 1 = active, 0 = inactive
- ; 5 Num Lock 1 = active, 0 = inactive
- ; 4 Scroll Lock 1 = active, 0 = inactive
- ; 3 Alt Shift 1 = active, 0 = inactive
- ; 2 Ctrl Shift 1 = active, 0 = inactive
- ; 1 Left Shift 1 = active, 0 = inactive
- ; 0 Right Shift 1 = active, 0 = inactive
- ;
- ; We are only concerned with bits 0-3, the shift status bits. At label "k1"
- ; in this routine, the status byte is tested with 0x0f. With simple tests,
- ; the status of the shift keys can be determined. Then, it easy to use the
- ; tables to translate (XLAT) the raw key codes to extended scan codes.
- ;
- ; This function was designed to be linked with C object code. The prototype
- ; for this function is far so it may be easily used with any memory model.
- ;
- ; For those of you (like me) who use keyboard speed up or other keyboard TSRs
- ; on XT's, you will find that those TSRs do not work with simulated scan codes
- ; generated by this utility. This function grabs the raw keys before the TSR
- ; gets them and they don't get passed to the TSR. This is the reason I mapped
- ; the "Keypad -" and "Keypad +" to the scroll up and scroll down functions -
- ; they aren't filtered by this function and get through to the typefast (TSR)
- ; utilities, so you can scroll really fast thru files.
