Doesn't seem to support non-QWERTY keboards :(

I've built out a full keyboard-remapping system, to support any keyboard layout. I need help building these files.

Are you using DVORAK? If you are willing to help, please open a Github issue with some info about your keyboard, and I'll build support for it.

Thanks! Done

How did DOS era software handle this anyways? I can't imagine it would be fun to be a dvorak typist in the DOS era.

DOS has the 'keyb' utility and 'keyboard.sys' to support different layouts, using various code pages.

If you have a CGA card, you're stuck with the code page of the ROM your card came with, which in most cases was code page 437, although a few variants were made.

EGA/VGA had software fonts so other code pages could be loaded.

But it's written in Rust! Who cares about non-qwerty!
