The Apple //e keyboard was very similar to the PC keyboard, and most keys correspond directly between the two keyboards. However, there were a few keys on the Apple //e that are not on the PC; these are described below:
Reset:
On the Apple //e, you could usually press Control+Reset to interrupt a running
program. With the Apple //e Emulator, you may emulate this key sequence with
Ctrl+F2 or
Ctrl+Break.
Open Apple:
The Open Apple key was first introduced in the Apple //e, and was later renamed
to the Apple key. It was similar to
Ctrl
and
Alt
on a PC, in that it was used in conjunction with other keys. This key is
emulated with the PC's
Left Alt
key, which is in the same position as the Open Apple key on the original //e.
Solid Apple:
The Solid Apple key was introduced on the Apple //e and later renamed to the
Option key. This key is emulated with the PC's
Right Alt
key, which is in the same position as the Solid Apple key on the original //e.
Numeric Keypad:
The numeric keypad, introduced on the Extended Keyboard //e, is emulated
through the PC's numeric keypad. To enable this feature, turn on
Num Lock and make sure the joystick
emulation is configured to use something other than the keyboard.
Pause:
Pressing the PC's
Pause
key will pause emulation. Press
Pause
again to resume emulation.
Scroll Lock:
Holding down the PC's
Scroll Lock
key temporarily sets the emulation to full speed (i.e. unthrottled).
NOTE: The status of the PC's
Scroll Lock
LED is meaningless. The emulator will only run full speed while the
Scroll Lock
key is pressed down.
Shift+Insert:
Paste text from Windows' clipboard. Text gets fed a character at a time to the
Apple's keyboard hardware. The 'CR+LF' combination gets converted to CR.
PrintScrn:
Save Apple screen to bitmap. The file is saved to the last directory you opened a disk image from. The default resolution is 560x384. Use
Shift+PrintScrn
to save a 280x192 bitmap. The filename
generated depends if you have a floppy inserted in drive-1 or not. If you do then
files are named "{DiskFilename}_#.bmp" otherwise they are named "AppleWin_ScreenShot_#.bmp".
Shift+PrintScrn:
See above.
Ctrl+PrintScrn:
Copy the text screen (auto detect 40/80 columns) to the clipboard.
Alt+Enter:
Toggle between windowed and full screen video modes. (NB. Will conflict with emulation when doing Open Apple + Enter.)
Function Keys F1-F8:
These PC function keys correspond to buttons on the toolbar.
Function Key F2 + Ctrl:
This PC function key combo acts like Ctrl+Reset (instead of power-cycle).
Function Key F6 + Ctrl:
This PC function key combo toggles between 1x and 2x window sizes.
Function Key F9:
This PC function key will cycle through AppleWin's display modes:
monochrome (custom), Color Monitor, B&W TV, Color TV, etc. This shortcut allows you to switch display modes without going
through the configuration dialog.
NB. Use Shift+F9 to reverse-cycle the display modes.
Function Key F9 + Ctrl + Shift:
This PC function key combo will toggle 50% scanline mode
Function Key F10 (or Ctrl+left mouse button):
This PC function key will stop emulating an Apple joystick with the PC's mouse.
In Pravets 8A emulation mode it servers as Caps Lock and Ctrl+F10 shall
be used to stop emulating an Apple joystick with the PC's mouse.
Function Keys F11-F12:
These PC function keys correspond to saving/loading a save-state
file.
