    Hello folks,

    can you tell me how to type "@" character?

    I have MorphOs installed on a Mac Mini with an original italian Apple Keyboard...

    and have chosen italian keyboard preference during the installation...

    I am going nuts...

    Help me :(

    Try keymorpher_v1.1 for MorphOS which should show you the key that is currently setup to use that character. Hope that helps

    Hi D4Ni3L3!
    You can try to solve your problem going here:
    Keymap italiana per MorphOS
    This italian keymap was made by prof Fulvio Peruggi and cover almost all key combinations on a common pc keyboard and it should work on an Apple keyboard too. This is my idea and I can't test it since I use a pc keyboard but I saw that keys are almost similar.
    Download and install it in SYS:Devs/Keymaps and select it from System Settings/Keyboard.
    On a pc keyboard key combination is ALT+@key and I've read that it's the same on an Apple keyboard. Try it and let us know =)

    Simply use Alt+Q. At least it works here when selecting an italian keyboard.

    Same position as on any PC keyboard. There is also the tool KeyShow included (Tools/KeyShow), which allows to find a key very easy.

    Italian keyboard has different symbols for keys and "@" key is on "ò" key, on the left side of keyboard:

    and it's the same for Mac keyboard:

    MorphOs has two "strange" things since 1.4: the keyboard layout, not italian layout, and the italia.country file, which starts week day from Sunday instead of Monday.
    That's why I use Fulvio Peruggi's file for keyboard and a modified italia.country file for days :-)

    Alt+Q works fine on my keyboard. :)

    Many thanks to all of you for the precious help.

    Hello!

    I tried Fulvio's Peruggi keyboard and it works fine on my Apple Keyboard. I made some tests with a PC keyboard by TRUST and it works fine too.
    I prefer using apple keyboard because I can reset the Mac Mini with the key combination CTRL + APPLE ( on the left side ) + CTRL APPLE ( on the right side ).
    I tried the same positioned Keys on the PC keyboard and I cannot reset.

    So what can you say to me about key resetting? How do you perform it?

    Hello D4Ni3L3,

    with the Apple keyboard you con use LEFT CTRL - LEFT APPLE - RIGHT APPLE (no need for RIGHT CTRL), with the PC keyboard connected to the Mac Mini you should use LEFT CTRL - LEFT WINDOWS - RIGHT WINDOWS (at least I hope so: this work on a Pegasos, but is untested on a Mac Mini).

    I have a PC (USB) keyboard which won't do the three fingered salute (the right windows key is replaced with a 'menu' key instead), although standard PC keyboards with two 'windows' keys do work in my experience.

    Three fingers salute reset worked flawlessly for me on Pegasos II with Logitech keyboards sporting 2 Windows keys. (I own Logitech Desktop Wireless Navigator PS2+USB keyboard + Mouse Set, i.e. the first version that features Left and Right Windows keyx. New versions have only Left Windows key.)

    With MacMini I currently use USB cable Keyboard from HewlettPackard which has two Windows keys, and also works perfectly with MorphOS 3.8.

    [Extra:
    I advice you not to buy HewlettPackard keyboards. Mine is awful and often do not recognize key pressing, and mainly "SHIFT" key, so I must continuously edit missing upper case in capital letters.]
