Msg: Re: DOSBox-X version 0.83.20 released!

Hi Bill,

The SDL1 build uses a modified SDL 1.2.x library whereas the SDL2 build uses the SDL 2.x library. The differences between SDL1 and SDL2 builds are most noticeably in the Windows version with different menu types. On macOS version, there are still some differences regarding input support, and Glide support works better with the SDL1 version since the OpenGlide Glide wrapper may not work with the SDL2 version.

As for the MacOS Command key, you can define Mod3 to be the Command key instead of the Control key in the Mapper Editor. Indeed, you can change all modifier keys with the Mapper Editor. There is a short guide for using the Mapper Editor in the DOSBox-X Wiki (http://dosbox-x.com/wiki).

Many thanks, Wengier! I wondered what is the
difference between sdl1 and sdl2. Also, on MacOS
I always remap capslock to command, and would
like to have DOSBox-X use capslock for control as
well, but I don't seem to be able to find the information.
