Summary: Keyboard emulation problems

Initial Comment:

The GRAPH and CODE keys of the emulated machine isn't working as expected. It can't produce most of the desired characters. Only a few keys produce output when pressed together with GRAPH or CODE.

Emulated machines: Toshiba HX-10, Sharp Hotbit HB-8000

Testbed:
openMSX-0.8.0 on Mac OS-X v10.6.5

Message:
Test the following on the emulated Toshiba HX-10:

Hold GRAPH (left alt) and press the sequence: FGHJ

On the real machine, by looking at the keyboard tables, this will
produce:

Border character: |-
Border character: -|-
Border character: -|
Graphic character: upper half bg-color, lower half fg-color.

On the emulated HX-10: GRAPH+F will give you the "1/4" character and the
rest of the sequence will just be ignored.

The same symptom occurs exactly the same way on the emulated Hotbit.
Brazilian machines don't seem to differ from the european models when it
comes to the {GRAPH,CODE}{,+SHIFT} characters.

Message:
The Hotbit probably won't be working well, because the keyboard matrix is
not properly set, as you probably know (int mapping is used).

But the Toshiba should work and actually works here. At least with GRPH
key. Which give the wrong output for you? Can you give some concrete
examples?
