Z64K

Pixel exact emulation of the Commodore 128,Commodore 64, Spectrum 48/128K,VIC 20 and Atari 2600 

Keyboard shortcuts

• ALT+O = Toggle output of VICIIe/VDC to main screen (C128 only)
• ALT+2 = Toggle 2nd display ON/OFF (C128 only)
• ALT+ENTER = Toggle Fullscreen mode
• ALT+INSERT = Paste text from clipboard
• ALT+DELETE = Copy screen text to clipboard
• ALT+Q = Toggle capture mouse (C128 & C64)

AdditionalC128 keys

F1=ESC
F2=TAB
F3=ALT
F4=CAPS LOCK
F5= HELP
F6=LINE FEED
F7=40/80 DISPLAY
F8=NO SCROLL

The following keymappings override the values in the keyboard configuration editor for the C128
F9 = F1/F2
F10= F3/F4
F11= F5/F6
F12=F7/F8

Other changes are:-
PC CAPS LOCK = C128 SHIFT LOCK
For emulated NUMPAD Joystick Num Lock needs to be OFF.
C128 NUMPAD keys works with Num Lock ON.

There is an option to enable/disable extra c128 keys via settings==>setup==>Extended Keyboard keys in the latest downloadable version of the emulator. Default is enable extended keyboard keys in C128/CPM modes only.

The C128 Direction keys are mapped to PC cursor keys, and CRSR U/D and CRSR L/R mapped to PC NUMPAD / and * when Extended Keyboard keys enabled.
