Re: Clip in DosBox-X-X in Big Sur

Hi Jon,

I believe the DOSBox-X version you are using is an older version. The default keyboard shortcut for "Pasting from the clipboard" in current DOSBox-X versions is Ctrl+F6. Also, the "Left meta" key should be listed as the "Left Command" key in recent DOSBox-X versions. But if you use an older version, then "Left meta" means "Left Command" in macOS. Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
Wengier

I moved on to Big Sur and so I've had to switch from VDosBox to DosBox-X-X on my MacBook Air. 

Mostly smooth, but with glitches. It doesn't load instantly like VDosBox, but that must be Big Sur hurdles.

My main question is transferring from the Clipboard into XY4.

I found this:

And clicking in the Main menu on "Pasting from the clipboard" certainly does the job. But it's a lot of clicks. 

That menu item lists a keyboard shortcut-- Left meta + Alt + F4 -- but I have no idea what "left meta" is--it's not the fn key or left shift key. 

The Wiki  mentions F12-V, but that brings up the internal XY4 clipboard, not the external one. The Wiki also says a key can be assigned in Config.sys -- but Search doesn't find anything called Config.sys. I do have Autoexec.bat that loads Editor.exe and sets the 25-line size.

The Clip assignment is probably easy, but I could use a little help. Thanks.
