====== DOSBox ======
==== Special Key Bindings ====
These are the default keybindings. They can be changed using the [[https://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Mapper|keymapper]].

Note: If you're using a Mac and are having trouble with the function keys, you may need to set your F keys to function as function keys. You can do this by going to System Preferences > Keyboard, going to the Keyboard area, and checking the "Use all F1, F2, etc" box.
