Hi i think can be done ez with aliases, You can just write *aaa = A or
bbb=B and you not need return anything. :) *I have hope this can help or
even easier if free dos can alias *space* then combination can be *space
a =A or use dot command like in old word processor WordStar4.0 example
--> .b
Regarding programmatic control of the keyboard LEDs, that was definitely
possible. I have some od BASIC code I wrote in my early days which
twiddle some bits in the byte at 0:0417 to accomplish it.

It has been a very long time. But, if I recall correctly, I’m fairly sure you
can programmatica

Hi!

I was more thinking in the direction of MKEYB or other int 15.4f
based drivers: They see all key press and

This seems one of those nifty keyboard drivers, but it has not time-critical
functions… I would need a driver that counts how long a key has been pressed…
Right?

Thanks Eric for the info on Mielke, Sticky Keys ed al.
I would like to know how such a »driver«, as you call it could be realized?
I am not a programmer …

Hi!
I am not aware of such drivers, but it would not be hard
to write one. I think there already are drivers to make
shift keys sticky, or to give audible feedback, as in
my ancient locktone experiment inspired by Mielke.cc :-)

is it possible in DOS (using BIOS?) to implement a tsr or so
Hi,
is it possible in DOS (using BIOS?) to implement a tsr or so which allows the
following:
holding a key longer to return a SHIFT-key on screen?
Example:
press key »a« and HOLD the key for e.g. 500 milliseconds,
=> print shift-a = »A« on screen.
Anyone around who has an idea or knowledg
