As far as I know it is unsupported and even not in plans to support.

P.S. I’m missing such functionality too :frowning:

Me too! Specially since this was not a problem with QNX4

There is an experimental devc-con which supports different keyboard mapping.
It was written by a QNX Germany employee and is currently under review for
inclusion in a future QNX release.

Cheers,

Would you tell me, is it based on the 6.1 version of devc-con (which came as
an example with sources with QNX 6.1) ? Or it is based on the latest version
of devc-con ? Does it have custom font support, because without custom fonts
support keyboard mapping is not usefull.

It is based on 6.3 devc-con. Not sure about custom fonts, devc-con runs in
text mode with whatever font there is. I’ve seen it displaying German
umlauts.

You are happy :slight_smile: But some ppl using cyrillic glyphs, and font support is
very needed for complete locales support under QNX6.

Btw, what was the solution about showing the characters with codes from 0x80
upto 0x9F ?
