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


Success! 

For what it's worth, CMD-Alt-F4 does some wacky things in XY4. Unless the pasted Clipboard text is quite short, CMD-Alt-F4 pops up assorted menus and functions and pastes some of the Clipboard copy into them. I went into my .kbd file and tried to comment out (;)  everything associated with that key and it still popped up the XY menus and functions. 

However, I have used the Mapper to add a different key combination (ALT-Z) for Paste from Clipboard, so that is now running smoothly. Thanks!

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.

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

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.
