Xmess Virtual Keyboard Keypad

[vaustein]

Does the XMess virtual keyboard include a keypad? Not the top row number keys, but the standard keyboard keypad that Numlock toggles between numbers and control characters / arrows. I'm asking because XMess maps the keypad to the Colecovision controller keypad. Without keypad support in the virtual keyboard, games like Gateway to Asphai, War Games, and War Room are basically unplayable.

Unfortunately no it doesn't support that (although that is a good idea). What you can do is remap the coleco controller 0-9 and # and the other one to other keys. That way you can use keys that are present in the virtual keyboard.

hope this helps,

Yeah, that would work.

Why didn't I think of that :blink:
