Key Codes for Special Characters
PatternBitmap
Here, you can set a different bitmap pattern for the key; at present, only the entry $ExtBmp1
is possible for keys highlighted in colour, for example, the [RETURN] or [TAB] key. If this
entry is not used, then the entry including comma must be omitted.
X-Len,Y-Len,X-Pos,Y-Pos
Here, you define the size and positioning of the key. For parameters left blank (,,,) or param-
eters that are not available, the default value is always set.
The default value for the size is defined through the StdKeySize entry in the Keyboard_xxx
section. The default value for the positioning is always the next X-position after the previ-
ously defined key in accordance with its size.
A minus sign in front of the value is a reference to the standard key size:
• An X-Len of -2 produces a key that is twice as wide. A Y-Pos of -5 positions the key in
the fifth key row.
