Using The Virtual Keyboard - RETRO The Spectrum User Manual

CHAPTER 12

Using the virtual keyboard

While playing a game with a game controller pressing H
+ M will bring up a virtual keyboard on the right hand
side of the screen. This allows you to virtually press any of
the standard ZX Spectrum keyboard keys. While the virtual
keyboard is in operation the game will not respond to The
Spectrum keyboard or game controller. This is most useful
for entering your name in a high score table if you are using
a game controller and the keyboard is out of reach.
Move the selector over a key you wish to virtually press and
press A. There are also some special shortcut functions you
can quickly access through a controller:
Joystick button
B
Y
To close the virtual keyboard and resume game play with controller, press H +
M again.
