Key Codes For Special Characters

PatternBitmap

Here, you can set a different bitmap pattern for the key; at present, only the entry
$ExtBmp1 is possible for keys highlighted in color, for example, the [RETURN] or
[TAB] key. If this entry is not used, then the entry including comma must be
omitted.

X-Len,Y-Len,X-Pos,Y-Pos

Here, you define the size and positioning of the key. For parameters left blank (,,,) or
parameters that are not available, the default value is always set.
The default value for the size is defined through the StdKeySize entry in the
Keyboard_xxx section. The default value for the positioning is always the next
X-position after the previously defined key in accordance with its size.
