How to install a keymap

The first thing that you have to do is copy the keymap for your country. These are located on your LOCALE disk, in the keymaps drawer. The file that you are looking for varies according to the country that you live in. Look for a file that has the initials of your country, such as GB for Great Britain. If you cannot find one that suits your needs choose another that is based upon your language. There are a number of language keymaps available from Aminet.

Once you have found the file that you are after, copy it to the DEVS:KEYMAPS/ drawer on your Amiga. This can be done using the mouse to choose the file and dragging into the drawer, or it can be done on the keyboard by entering something like:

COPY LOCALE:KEYMAPS/#? WORKBENCH3.0:DEVS/KEYMAPS/
Where #? is you need to replicate it for the name of your chosen keymap. If your disk is not called "Workbench3.0" then you need to replace it with the name of your disk.

The next part is to set the INPUT program located in your PREFS drawer to use the British keymap (or whatever language you use) by selecting it form the list and save the file.
