=== Function keys ===
== Symbolic mapping ==
 
Breadbox uses symbolic mapping of the keys. This means the symbols you type on your computer are linked to the same symbols (or key combination that creates the symbol) on the simulated computer. Some symbols don't exist on the simulated computer. If so, the key is linked to another key, with fuzzy logic, for example look at the below mapping tables of ''function and modifier key mappings''. Another obvious thing is that the simulated computer has symbols that are not on the PC keyboard. In that case, you have the option to zoom in on the keyboard and click the symbol with your mouse pointer.
 
In short, pressing symbols like '''a, b, 1, 2, !, @, $, ., (, *''' should all give the same/similar output on a simulated computer.
 
''Some of the function and modifier key mappings are not that obvious and can be different depending on the computer model. Below you will find key mapping tables to help you locate them.''
 
=== Numeric keypad (number pad, numpad) ===
 
The numeric keypad has two typing-modes, plus joystick mode.
 
==== Joystick mode ====
 
To setup the numpad joystick emulation, go to '''Settings''' -> '''Input Settings''', and under joystick controllers, '''select Numpad'''.
 
In joystick mode, the number keys (1-8) on the numpad will emulate joystick directions and 0 works as Fire-button.
 
==== Typing mode ====
 
Typing-mode is '''on''', when joystick emulation is '''not''' active.
 
In typing-mode you can change the mode by pressing the '''Numlock''' key. By default, it operates in calculator mode and displays numbers and symbols related to the calculation. In the other mode, it works as an alternative navigation keypad. Then you can use 8,4,6 and 2(or 5) as navigation/arrow keys, in the same way you'd use the normal arrow keys to move the cursor.
 
== Keyboard layouts ==
 
There are many different PC keyboard layouts. It means that some of the symbols are different or in different places. To have working symbolic mapping, a correct layout (or a close match) should be selected in Breadbox.
 
Currently available keyboard layouts are:
* US - American
* UK - British
* DE - German
* DK - Danish
* ES - Spanish
* FR - French
* FI - Finnish
* IT - Italian
* MX - Latin American
* NO - Norwegian

Symbolic mapping

Breadbox uses symbolic mapping of the keys. This means the symbols you type on your computer are linked to the same symbols (or key combination that creates the symbol) on the simulated computer. Some symbols don't exist on the simulated computer. If so, the key is linked to another key, with fuzzy logic, for example look at the below mapping tables of function and modifier key mappings. Another obvious thing is that the simulated computer has symbols that are not on the PC keyboard. In that case, you have the option to zoom in on the keyboard and click the symbol with your mouse pointer.

In short, pressing symbols like a, b, 1, 2, !, @, $, ., (, * should all give the same/similar output on a simulated computer.

Some of the function and modifier key mappings are not that obvious and can be different depending on the computer model. Below you will find key mapping tables to help you locate them.

Numeric keypad (number pad, numpad)

The numeric keypad has two typing-modes, plus joystick mode.

Joystick mode

To setup the numpad joystick emulation, go to Settings -> Input Settings, and under joystick controllers, select Numpad.

In joystick mode, the number keys (1-8) on the numpad will emulate joystick directions and 0 works as Fire-button.

Typing mode

Typing-mode is on, when joystick emulation is not active.

In typing-mode you can change the mode by pressing the Numlock key. By default, it operates in calculator mode and displays numbers and symbols related to the calculation. In the other mode, it works as an alternative navigation keypad. Then you can use 8,4,6 and 2(or 5) as navigation/arrow keys, in the same way you'd use the normal arrow keys to move the cursor.

Keyboard layouts

There are many different PC keyboard layouts. It means that some of the symbols are different or in different places. To have working symbolic mapping, a correct layout (or a close match) should be selected in Breadbox.

Currently available keyboard layouts are:

  • US - American
  • UK - British
  • DE - German
  • DK - Danish
  • ES - Spanish
  • FR - French
  • FI - Finnish
  • IT - Italian
  • MX - Latin American
  • NO - Norwegian
  • PT - Portuguese
  • SE - Swedish
