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+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.

with the PC's mouse.
