keyboard functions

I have a three keyboard-related questions concerning the use of a Microsoft keyboard in conjunction with Raspberry Pi 3+, RISCOS:
¹ Would there be a key that works in the same manner as the BREAK key (on a UK RISC keyboard)?

² Upon pressing [Shift] [‘ “] an @ symbol is displayed on monitor and upon pressing
[Shift] [2 @] the inverted comma symbol “ is displayed. Is there a way of fixing that problem?

³ In the old days – using the command line you could program any of the programs to do a job such as producing a program code listing after you cleared the screen with something like this:
*key5 CLS |M LIST
where|M meant press carriage return/Enter
Can’t seem to be able to do that. Is it possible to do that with above described configuration?

Would there be a key that works in the same manner as the BREAK key (on a UK RISC keyboard)?

Yes, Break. It might be marked Pause|Break, depending on your keyboard legend.

Upon pressing [Shift] [‘ “] an @ symbol is displayed on monitor and upon pressing [Shift] [2 @] the inverted comma symbol “ is displayed. Is there a way of fixing that problem?

You have a US-layout keyboard. I’ll leave this question to someone else, as I’ve a feeling that RISC OS tangles up keyboards and countries quite a lot – with potentially unintended consequences.

Or you could investigate KeyMapper.

[*Key …] Can’t seem to be able to do that. Is it possible to do that with above described configuration?

No, not on the desktop. Go to the command line (F12) and you’ll find it works as expected, but in the desktop, all the FN key combinations are passed to applications for use as hotkeys.

That said, on some keyboards, you might need to turn FN-Lock on (or press FN) to activate the FN keys if they’re shared with other (often multimedia) functions.

Yes, Break. It might be marked Pause|Break, depending on your keyboard legend.

Maybe not. I have a Microsoft natural type keyboard with no break key so not used with RiscOS. Go figure otherwise a nice kb

Go to Configure/Keyboard and change the Keyboard entry at the top to USA.

So have I. Is it possible to remap a key, for example Home or End, to behave as the Break key?

Use KeyMapper

Use KeyMapper

Well, I tried *keymap 13 15, as advised, but to no avail, nothing happens. It would be handy if we could find out which deep key code belongs to which key…

*keymap 13 15 works perfectly on the Titanium with its short keyboard but the key, 13, mapped is PrtScr.

Well, it doesn’t on the VirtualAcorn, with a HP Envy keyboard, where PrtScr is also key 13.

With VRPC-DL on a Lenovo, End, which is Fn-right arrow, key 53, maps OK to Break. Fn-Alt-End brings up the Stop box.

*keymap 53 15

That does the trick indeed. And it reminds me that I have to press the FN-key to activate function keys on this keyboard. However, I’m still puzzled why it doesn’t work with PtrScr. Anyhow, I finally have the break-functionality again. Thanks!
