3. Select the Save Gadget and when the Workbench reappears, point to the
SetMap icon and double-click the Selection button.
After having installed the national keymap
as
described, the
selected
keyboard driver
is
loaded and
is active
for all programs you run from this point on.
All
previously
started
programs will
still
use
the
initial keyboard driver
as
installed from the
start.
If
you always
want to use the
same
keymap, the following line has to be
added in your
"s/startup-sequence"
file:
SETMAP code
Note: Not
all
of the keyboards listed above
and shown
on the pages following
are
currently
manufactured
.
It is also possible that other key maps may become
.
available.
Consult
your
Amiga dealer for information
about
availability
.
Each
keymap has
a set of alternate characters.
The alternate character
set
includes
special symbols and
diacritical marks used in each language. To
enter an
alternate
character, hold down the Alt key while pressing
another
key
on the
keyboard
.
Included
among
the alternate characters in the new key maps
are
"dead"
keys. These keys
allow you
to add
accents and other
diacritical marks to
selected characters.
When
you
press
a "dead"
key, the
cursor
does not
advance;
thus, the diacritical mark
and
the next
character you
type appear in the
same
position
.
Not all characters
can
be
combined
with
"dead"
keys.
