5. Keyboard mapping
5.1 Default mapping
The best way to do keypresses is by using your PC keyboard. The layout
has been designed for American English (QWERTY) keyboards. Given that
some TI keys does not exist on a real keyboard, we need to bind them
on some PC keys. This depends on the calculator model you emulate.
Note that the keyboard mapping is the same as VTI, the well known TI
emulator for Windows.

5.2 Custom mapping
With TiEmu, you can define and use your own mapping. This is done thru
a 'keyboard mapping file' or 'keymap' for short. Keymaps are located in
the skins folder and have the
.map extension. Default
keymaps are ti89.map (TI89, TI89 Titanium) and ti92.map (TI92, TI92+,
V200PLT).
Those keymaps are text files with a straightforward syntax :
Model: TI89t
// English mapping (VTi-compatible)
// Alphabetical
PCKEY_A:TIKEY_EQUALS,TIKEY_ALPHA
PCKEY_OEM_SCROLL:TIKEY_ON
Model can be 'ti89', 'ti92', 'ti92+', 'v200' or 'ti89t'.
Next, there are some key pairs: "PCKEY_xxx:TIKEY_xxx,TIKEY_yyy".
PCKEY_xxx is the input key, TIKEY_xxx, TIKEY_yyy are the output keys.
If you want to write your own keymap, you may need to know which
scancode to bind to. TiEmu can help you by displaying it if you set the
'kbd_dbg' variable in the tiemu.ini
file to 'yes'. Windows users will have to set the 'console' variable to
'yes', too.
