Sunday afternoon project:
I've often wanted a virtual keyboard for the C64 and VIC-20 in Vice, so I spent some time learning the source layout and made one. It's selectable from the menu.
The PETSCII layout still needs some work, but it's coming along.
My GTK UI in C was a little rusty, but I eventually got the hang of it.

@mrdoornbos@mastodon.social amazing! Have you done a pull request on the VICE development branch, or planning to do it? It may be something useful also for those who don’t use a QWERTY layout for their keyboard.

@mrdoornbos@mastodon.social Nice! That is something I have also wanted. Will it pick up on the keyboard layout from the ROM, or is it always the US English default?
