That's actually a very neat idea. It would have to be a key combination or an extra key spliced into the matrix.
Maybe the break key and the shift or an arrow?

On the other end of things when are you going to allow us to set XRoar turbo mode from inside the Dragon with a POKE instruction? :lol:
Shift+F12? I could probably get the Pico to send that. I think I need an extra row of buttons on my Dragon keyboard programmed with XRoar features.

Hello. Wayland has sent me the little PCB. After a long long trip over the channel, here it is. The keybord works fine. I have installed the last software of Rob' github. I put a photo of the hardware.

Very nice photo Az.
I wish the board had been designed so the Pico could solder on directly without the standoffs. Maybe we should do a V2 which supports XRoar function keys and menu items.

If you solder the pico too close to the pcb, nous will not be able to connecteur the usb.
Yes, needs software evolution ...
