The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: A customer is trying to remap the Dvorak keyboard into WordPerfect. His problem is very similar to Memo WP51_1397; however, he is trying to remap Ctrl-comma, Ctrl-period, or Ctrl-forward slash. The customer wants to know if there is any way around this limitation. Solutions: There are no keyboard scan codes for these keystrokes. This means that the physical keyboard doesn't understand those keystrokes to send a key code to the machine in order for the machine to give it to the keyboard buffer. Even if some program manipulation could happen, WordPerfect can't map those keystrokes anyway. If you look at the keyboard map (Shift-F1, 5, M) there is no option for these keystrokes to map.
