Danish keyboard encoding for NC100 emulation #28

I would like to request Danish keyboard encoding for the NC100 emulator.
As it stands right now, I am unable to use the emulator while my host os is using Danish keyboard layout. I can not even write input , and . (comman and dot)

Just tried changing the keyboard layout on my system from Danish to UK, also tried switching to US. I am still unable to type in commas and periods. I am using linux Mint 19.3 with xfce

Should be fixed now. Thanks for the report.

The command and period is indeed fixed now, but I still am unable to type in any danish characters. While this is not so much of an issue, I would like to know how to press some of the special characters of the NC100 like the menu button?
I have figured out the colored buttons, but can not figure out which button would be equievelant to the NC100's menu button.

Also, is there some way of simulating a serial connection to the NC100 ?

I tried to vaguely follow the NC100 layout so right alt-gr is the menu/option button for typing things like ae.

Adding full serial emulation isn't hard. I've not done it yet and not really figured out a use case.

I do not see anything happening when I press right alt-gr, can it be because I use Danish keyboard layout on my computer? My ROM is a Danish version, could that have any influence?
Without the hidden menu button, I am unable to change settings inside the emulater?
The serial connection, I would use to transfer files to and from the emulated NC100

The keyboard layout on the host shouldn't matter. The emulator simply maps some key encodings to the lines on the NC100 'hardware'. I will take a look at it when I have some time and also document the layout used.
