XRoar keyboard

Hello Ciaran,
In my compilation/test chaintool for AGD, I call an old version of XRoar, say 1.09 and there I see that any key pressed in
the PC keyboard appears on the emulated Dragon screen. I have there the param -keyboard-translate
But the last versions 1.39 even with that param, the letters are treated as Dragon Layout and there is no option in the
menu to change that for something like 'translated'
Is there any way to tell XRoar to translate the keystrokes as it did before?
working on Windows64 bits version
thanks in advance

Hm - the option should be "-kbd-translate" - did it used to accept a longer version of that, then?

This is the long command I use ...
xroar -ui sdl -ccr none -machine dragon64 -machine-cpu 6309 -extbas d64_1.rom -altbas d64_2.rom -machine-cart dragondos -cart-rom ddos40.rom
-force-crc-match -disk-write-back -joy-left 0,0:1:0 -kbd-translate -lp-file ..\XRoar\sortida.txt
And the keypresses are no more translated in current version
cheers!

Hi, Ciaran
sorry for repeating but I cannot get the recent XRoar versions to translate the PC keypresses, it always
returns the corresponding key on the Dragon layout, a bit awful
In the menu there is no option to choose for 'translate'
Is there any chance to solve that problem?
cheers!

Wasn't there a CTRL+Z shortcut to enable/disable keyboard translation?

Yeah there's "Keyboard Translation" under "Tool", but as I try this under Wine right now I see it's not working! I'll look into it, not sure what I've done to mangle that - seems to work ok under Linux :/

Ok, I think I spotted the problem.
Was this only in the recent composite video testing snapshot builds?
The last upload there should have translation working again.

well, IIRC previous versions did work just fine.
Since these video testing snapshots keyboard has been affected ...
Will download last one. Currently using v1.32029

Right, Ciaran
I can confirm that under Windows11 the very last version 1.3.2322 64 bits works flawlessly
Thanks a lot!!
