Keyboard mapping

Atari Keys
When possible, Atari keys are mapped to the host keys that generate the same characters. For instance,
Shift+2 on a US English keyboard layout generates an @ key press in the emulated system, even
though Shift+2 generates a double quote (") on the Atari keyboard. Here are the less obvious mappings:

Fuji / Invert End or `
Ctrl+Esc Ctrl+\
Ctrl+Shift+Esc Ctrl+Shift+\
Ctrl+- Up Arrow*
Ctrl+= Down Arrow*
Ctrl++ Left Arrow*
Ctrl+* Right Arrow*

The Options / Keyboard... dialog allows configuration of the arrow key handling and can be set to
either require or not require use of the Ctrl modifier key. Also, holding the Alt key will allow the
arrow keys on the host to issue keyboard input even if those keys are already mapped to an input
controller.

Host Keys
These are the mappings from host keys to emulator functions:
