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 or Ctrl+F12.
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 Scoll Lock key is pressed down.
Esc key:
Previous versions of the emulator would stop emulating an
Apple joystick with the PC's mouse by
pressing Esc or F10. Since the Esc
key is also used by many Apple //e
programs, the Esc key was replaced with Ctrl+left
mouse button .
Function Keys (F1-F8):
The PC's function keys correspond to buttons on the
toolbar.
Function Key F9:
The PC's F9 function key will cycle through AppleWin's display modes:
monochrome, color (normal), and color (optimized). This shortcut allows you to
switch display modes without going through the configuration dialog.
