Title: a key question
Post by: quiesce on May 30, 2003, 05:38:35 AM

I've noticed that the amiga has no inherent support for the home, end,
pgup and pgdown keys, although it does provide the same functionality
by holding down shift and using the arrow keys. Is there any program
that will remap the home, end, pgup and pgdown keys? ATM they are
redundant and I am overly used to using them.

The Amiga keyboard does not have these keys. Now it depends on the interface you use to connect a PC keyboard to your Amiga if these keys are passed through. If so, they can be mapped. If not, no chance.

MMKeyboard can remap these keys, if you also use the MMKeyboard hardware.

To check if these keys are passed throug with your hardware, you can use the program Key1 from my homepage.
