Information about the keyboard layouts for developers
=====================================================
Information on keyboard layouts for developers
==============================================
DOSBox-X is not compatible with keyboard layouts it's not prepared for.
DOSBox-X was developed around the US keyboard layout like DOSBox, mainly
due to limitations around the SDL1 library. SDL is responsible for input
handling, and SDL1 in particular only supports US keyboards.
The SDL1 library used in this source tree, unlike the official library,
does not attempt to hack around the issue by forcing Windows to load
the US keyboard layout for itself.
