keyboard layout on pico

Can the keyboard layout be set on the ‘pico’ sd ?

You can remap any key to any other, or indeed any list of keys to any other list if you use the keymapper module

Do you want to set the keyboard to a country layout or an individual layout? In any case RiscOS pico cannot store any boot settings but you can do this:

Make a BASIC program with your configuration and save it as “CONFIG” For example I use this:

MODE 800,600,32
COLOUR 0
COLOUR 128+127
CLS
OSCLI “Keyboard Germany”
OSCLI “Dir”
OSCLI “Dir MyUserDir”
OSCLI “Cat”

Then make a TEXT file with “BASIC CONFIG” inside and save it as “!BOOT” Then type the following commands once:

SetType !BOOT Obey
Configure Boot

Now at power-up your configuration should be auto-executed.

Thank You (s)
I want to switch to standard U.S. layout.
Can I simply edit something on the SD ?
( from Raspbian )

On the FAT-formatted RiscOS pico SD card there is a text file “CONFIG.TXT” Under Raspbian in the same folder make an additional file “!BOOT” and put the text inside “Keyboard US”

Then boot into RiscOS pico QUIT BASIC and type once (this will be “remembered” on the SD card filesystem):

SetType !BOOT Obey
Configure Boot

O.K.
I now have a text file (looks like config.txt) named !BOOT (but changes to !boot) after booting ?
Inside is ’ Keyboard US ’
Then
Boot on the Pico SD
QUIT (enter)
gives me an asterisk prompt
SetType !BOOT Obey (enter)
Configure Boot (enter)
Reboot ………. keyboard unchanged :(

> gives me an asterisk prompt

If you type there “Keyboard US” does it (temporarily) change the keyboard layout as you would expect?

I don’t know enough to ’ expect ’ anything :)
How do I get back to Basic ?

> If you type there “Keyboard US”

I just checked and this gives an error the correct one is “Keyboard USA”

> I don’t know enough to ’expect’ anything

When I type “Keyboard Germany” the Y and Z keys change place as I need.

> How do I get back to Basic

With “BASIC” :-)

Good – Oh !
That does it.
Thank You !
I’ll live with doing that @ each session.
What is the * prompt ?
Like the Linux terminal ?

> I’ll live with doing that @ each session

Should be no need just change the inside of the “!BOOT” to the correct “Keyboard USA”. Then for testing at * type “!BOOT” and see if it is executed and your keyboard layout is changed or gives an error. If all works from then on you should have the correct keyboard at start-up.

Similar but older. For info just type at * “Help Commands”
