| Name: | »Bios standard keys« - Reinitialize keyboard. |
| Opcode: | 24 |
| Syntax: | void Bioskeys( void ); |
| Description: | Bioskeys is an XBIOS routine for reinitialising the key-codes. Usually this is only required if the keyboard has been reprogrammed with the Keytbl function. |
| Return value: | The function does not return a result. |
| Availability: | All TOS versions. |

| Syntax: | int16_t Kbrate( int16_t initial, int16_t repeat ); | ||||||
| Description: | The XBIOS routine Kbrate obtains or alters the current
auto-repeat rate of the keyboard. The following apply:

| Name: | »key table« - Define the mapping table for the keyboard scancodes to key-codes. | ||||||||||
| Opcode: | 16 | ||||||||||
| Syntax: | KEYTAB *Keytbl( void *unshift, void *shift, void *capslock ); | ||||||||||
| Description: | Keytbl is an XBIOS function with whose aid a new keyboard
table for the mapping of scancodes to key-codes can be constructed.
The following apply:
Note: A code is converted by using the scancode of the relevant key as an index in an array forming a table (of ASCII characters). Each of the tables has space for 128 entries, although key combinations with higher scancodes exist. | ||||||||||
| Return value: | The function returns a pointer to the KEYTAB structure. | ||||||||||
