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

Hi Jon,

Also, key shortcuts in DOSBox-X can be customized in the Mapper Editor, not in config.sys. With the DOSBox-X Mapper Editor you can customize many input functions, or you can use the default key settings. Hope this helps.

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:

https://dosbox-x.com/wiki/Guide%3AClipboard-support-in-DOSBox%E2%80%90X#_copy_and_paste_text_using_a_dos_program

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.
