I'm using the latest (for Debian available) version of VICE. But did
plant the hard drive of the old computer into a new computer.

Since then I cannot get a decent keyboard layout. For example when I try
to type "LOAD" I only get "LO" and the "A" would produce a space. The "D"
seems to produce a "2".

I was going through they keyboard mapping and tried all combinations of
"symbolic" and "positional" mappings. Loaded the appropriate map files I
hope, but to no avail. Here part of the vicerc after shutting down VICE
(which then saves the settings).

KeymapSymFile="/usr/lib/vice/C64/x11_sym.vkm"
KeymapPosFile="/usr/lib/vice/C64/x11_pos.vkm"
KeymapSymDeFile="x11_sym.vkm"

May be I look in the wrong place and there is a different menu option I
have to play with?

I'm guessing you have activated joystick 1 emulation on those keys.

No. But you lead me to the solution. I had to DEACTIVATE "Allow joystick
keysets".

Thanks. :-)

but what lets me type the little half-triangle thing with a screen code of $69? It's shift-rightparen on a real PET keyboard. What I'd like is to use on my PC keyboard is right-shift for the PETSCII graphics on the punctuation row of the keyboard, left-shift for the punctuation characters, and unshifted for the numbers. I googled and googled but no joy.

Thanks,
Charlie
