I'm trying to play the DOS-version of ADOM in DOSBox since I think it's easier on the eyes when I play it fullscreen which isn't an option with the Windows version  :blink: . Problem is I have a swedish keyboard and a few doesn't exist (?!), like ">" and "<". This is making it impossible for me to enter villages, dungeons etc. I've tried using the keymapper (ctrl + F1), but I can't find the keys there and I don't even recognize the layout on the screen. I've been looking at the FAQ on the DOSBox webpage, but cannot find anything useful except the numerical codes for some keys, but that's somewhat cumbersome... Any suggestions of where I can continue my search?   :D

I use a Norwegian keyboard, which is similliar to your keyboard.

To enter dungeons or go down, press : and to get back up it is ;. The online help is _.... hmm, what else.... ( would be the random race decider when generating a new character...

What I would propose you do, is simply go nuts in DOSBox and type your brain out. You'll see which buttons are which, then. That was what I had to do. And don't worry, it's only a couple of keys you'll need to learn that way :blink:



Edit:
But I think there is also a keymapper installed in ADOM. Might wanna give that a try :D

Yo!

That's the same as the standard English layout, actually (you can pick things up in a number of ways, though, for some reason).
