      On ColecoVision emulator

      to Exit is key1073741939

      Googling key1073741939 tells me the according to the SDL Keyboard Layout 1073741939 = F24

      What is F24 on the keyboard???

      I know to exit ColecoVision you press Right Shift and Enter, but my question is what is key1073741939 on the keyboard.

        @fsd2s I'm not really sure what your question is. F23 doesn't do anything in CoolCV. Here is the SDL key wiki https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDLKeycodeLookup and at the bottom of this is the CoolCV keymap https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Colecovision

          I guess I asked wrong.

          I understand the link you posted, and I know F23 doesn't do anything I was trying to use it as an example, but it seems to have just bogged down my question. So I have edited my original question.

          My question is this:
          According to your link for ColecoVision
          key_exit key1073741939

          When I google the SDL table for 1073741939 it tells me key1073741939 is F24

          I don't know what F24 means. Does F24 means Right Shift and Enter?

          Or specifically what does key1073741939 mean on a keyboard.

            @fsd2s SDL reads it as F24 or right shift+ enter. The mini keyboard I use doesn't have a right shift or an F24 so I mapped ESCAPE to exit which is 27 in SDL.

            I also went through the keymap and put the actual keyboard strokes at the beginning.

            ARROW UP - up_1	key1073741906		
            ARROW RIGHT - right_1	key1073741903

              Or do you mean "How do I press F24?" Then...A PC keyboard has a set of function keys from F1 - F12. To access function keys F13 - F24, press the Shift key in conjunction with function keys F1 - F12.

                  @fsd2s Well, according to every source I have looked at it is F24. I can't find anything that says otherwise. Anyway, as I said I use a mini keyboard with the Pi that has no right shift and only goes to F10, so I mapped EXIT to the Escape key. If you are looking for a one button exit then I suggest this.

                    @fsd2s Yes, I know what you are asking. According to SDL it's F24. I don't know what else to tell you!

                      OK thanks.

                      But F24 (Shift F12) does not exit ColecoVision

                      That's my confusion.
                      I've been googling this for 4 hours now and I dont understand it.

                      Its not even important.
                      I mean I know how to exit Colecovision RIGHT SHIFT and ENTER
                      But I just dont understand why F24 doesnt work.

                      Anyhow - THANK YOU for your help.

                        @fsd2s Go outside and get some fresh air... Maybe yours is broken. 1073742053 is right shift. 13 is enter/return. Perhaps in the emulator there is a hardcoded instruction to only accept the combo as exit and ignore the F24 press. It's possible. I don't have the time or inclination to look through the source code. It's out there if you really want to solve this!

                          @fsd2s if you want to change it to something different just do this, when you boot a game press f7 i believe after the game starts. Then every key you press gives you a key code. Just change it to another key using its key code.
