This belongs in comp.sys.amiga.tech :-)

I'll tell you the codes, but you need to promise never to write a program
that is incompatible with whatever keymap the user may have set.  OK?

Still reading?  You must have promised.

It will still work after "setmap usa2"?

Guru's honor?

Ok:

You can look at my "key.c" example and the sample keymap source code.
These have been posted to comp.sources.amiga.  I'd give a Fish disk
reference, but it seems that Fred Fish is not picking up that type
of stuff any more.

The actual codes are:

$5a	- (
$5b	- )
$5c	- /
$5d	- *
$5e	- +

Now, remember, if you make a keymap-incompatible program, may your
ram have bit-rot, your Guru's meditate all day, your recoverable ram
disk not, your mouse get eaten by the family cat...
