I'm using the latest (for Debian available) version of VICE. But did
plant the hard drive of the old computer into a new computer.
Since then I cannot get a decent keyboard layout. For example when I try
to type "LOAD" I only get "LO" and the "A" would produce a space. The "D"
seems to produce a "2".
I was going through they keyboard mapping and tried all combinations of
"symbolic" and "positional" mappings. Loaded the appropriate map files I
hope, but to no avail. Here part of the vicerc after shutting down VICE
(which then saves the settings).
KeymapSymFile="/usr/lib/vice/C64/x11_sym.vkm"
KeymapPosFile="/usr/lib/vice/C64/x11_pos.vkm"
KeymapSymDeFile="x11_sym.vkm"
May be I look in the wrong place and there is a different menu option I
have to play with?

I'm guessing you have activated joystick 1 emulation on those keys.

How do you set up the mapping to be able to type shifted graphic characters on the PET? I found this:
parenright 1 4 0
thethingIwant 1 4 1
but what lets me type the little half-triangle thing with a screen code of $69? It's shift-rightparen on a real PET keyboard. What I'd like is to use on my PC keyboard is right-shift for the PETSCII graphics on the punctuation row of the keyboard, left-shift for the punctuation characters, and unshifted for the numbers. I googled and googled but no joy.
Thanks,
Charlie
