KEYB_INJ.PRG - A key press injection utility for TOS 1.x (C) 2019 Christian Zietz <czietz@gmx.net> Sometimes an application or driver needs to input key press and release events as if they were coming from the Atari keyboard itself. TOS versions 2 and above as well as EmuTOS provide an API for this task; however, Atari TOS 1.x does not. KEYB_INJ.PRG is a utility to provide such applications the address within TOS 1.x which handles keyboard events. - GUIDE FOR USERS - Place KEYB_INJ.PRG in your AUTO folder. Make sure to sort the folder in such a way that KEYB_INJ.PRG is run before any drivers that need it. Note: If no cookie jar exists, KEYB_INJ.PRG creates its own, which can also be used by other programs. Therefore, if your AUTO folder contains a program solely to create a cookie jar, you can remove it when using KEYB_INJ.PRG. - GUIDE FOR DEVELOPERS - KEYB_INJ.PRG sets the 'KINJ' cookie to the address of a routine within TOS that can be called similarly as the 'kbdvec' vector available via the Kbdvbase() XBIOS call since TOS 2, with the additional requirement that the A5 register is zeroed. In pseudo code: At the start of a program: if TOS version >= 2 or EmuTOS detected: ; "negative 1" entry from array returned by Kbdvbase() vector = Kbdvbase()[-1] else if 'KINJ' cookie detected: vector = value of 'KINJ' cookie else: Fail To inject a key press or release event: Save all registers Register A0 = Iorec(1) Register D0 = Scancode (or scancode+0x80 for release) Register A5 = 0 Call vector with JSR Restore all registers - LICENSE - Copyright (c) 2019 Christian Zietz <czietz@gmx.net> Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
