Hello,
I am using the "nonpareil" emulator for HP41 C/CV/CX available at http://nonpareil.brouhaha.com. Unfortunately the mailing lists mentioned at the site don't work, which is why I ask the following question here:
Does somebody know how to address the USER, PRGM, ALPHA, SHIFT(GOLD), SST and R/S keys using the keyboard only?
Every other key works when pressing the usual digit or character for alpha mode.
Regards,
Guido

There's not currently any standard keyboard mapping for that. You can edit the keyboard mapping in the files 41cv.kml and 41cx.kml. The lines that begin with "scancode" control that. Example:
scancode 105 map 105 24 end # i
is the line that maps the "i" key on the keyboard to row 2 column 4
of the keyboard.
The numbers after "scancode" and "map" have to match. The values that are available may be found in gdkkeysyms.h
.
You're welcome to suggest some standard mappings for those keys.
I'm considering F4 for ON, F5 for USER, F6 for PRGM, and F7 for ALPHA, F8 for SST, F9 for R/S, and TAB for shift (gold). If you want to try those, you can use these KML files:

thanks for the modified files. I would like to suggest to stay compatible to Warren Furlows windows emulator as closely as possible. I think he uses F1 for help, then F2 for POWER, F3 for USER, F4 PRGM, F5 for ALPHA as well as Shift for Shift as far as I remember.
By the way: I send you email twice now (today and back in October) to the address given on your webpage because of the disfunctional mailing lists, but never got anything back. I hope your email address there works and is read.
Also hope the picture postcard that I sent from my location (Munich, Germany) some weeks ago to honor the QSL idea has reached you.
Best regards,
Guido
