Re: [MiNT] patch:MiNT:keyboard



An older document [1985 Bios] refers to mouse buttons, which is an alternate idea..

(11) kbshift
           LONG kbshift(mode)
           WORD mode;
                 If 'mode'  is  non-negative,  sets  the  keyboard
                 shift  bits accordingly and returns the old shift
                 bits.  If 'mode' is less than zero,  returns  the
                 IBM-PC  compatible state of the shift keys on the
                 keyboard, as a bit-vector in the low byte of D0.
                 Bit assignments are:
                       0     Right shift key
                       1     Left shift key
                       2     Control key
                       3     ALT key
                       4     Caps-lock
                       5     Right mouse button (CLR/HOME)
                       6     Left mouse button (INSERT)
                       7     (reserved, currently zero)

A google search came up with:
http://cd.textfiles.com/ataricompendium/BOOK/HTML/BIOS.HTM#kbshift2

K_CLRHOME    0x20    Clr/Home key depressed
K_INSERT     0x40    Insert key depressed

Still not as definitive as having a machine in front of you..
