Hey there.

I'm using a Soarer's Converter on a terminal Model M on a Windows 10 Home build 15063 machine. Everything works great except I can't get the Menu key to work. When I use hid_listen to get the scan code I get +93, which is LANG_4. But no key registers in Switch Hitter when I press it after remapping the keys. Everything else works as it should. Here is the code that I used:

remapblock
NUM_LOCK PAD_SLASH
ESC NUM_LOCK
F13 ESC
PAD_PLUS PAD_ENTER
PAD_ASTERIX PAD_PLUS
PAD_MINUS PAD_PLUS
SCROLL_LOCK PAD_ASTERIX
EXTRA_SYSRQ PAD_MINUS
LANG_4 MENU
F23 PRINTSCREEN
F24 LGUI


endblock

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you! :D

LANG_4 is the center arrow key on a 122-key IBM terminal.

Perhaps try 0x65 "APP" instead of 0x93 MENU for the destination?

Yeah, I have made the same mistake before. I still don't know what 'menu' does. Windows for one ignores it.

Yeah now that I think about it I have no idea what Keyboard Menu would do. Does it bring up a menu specifically for the keyboard? I don't know. Anyway the layout above is great for a 102 key (not battleship/battlecruiser/SSK) Terminal Model M if anyone needs one.
