Pause key doesn't work as expected

Open donno2048 opened this issue 10 months ago • 7 comments

Hey, in DOS you could stop the execution of any program by simply pressing the "break / pause" button, this method is the most effective method to stop a program as it doesn't need the program to handle the pausing like other pausing shortcuts because there was a dedicated interrupt int 1Bh, it seems this method doesn't work on js-dos...

Hi, didn't get it, can you provide more context? Why current option to pause emulation does not work for you?

It works, but in the original DOS and in DOSBox you can press the "pause" button on your keyboard and it'll pause the program while in js-dos it won't do anything...

Is there any updates on this?

Can you explain your use case, maybe I get more motivation. For now it looks like very minor problem.

@caiiiycuk It is a minor issue, didn't mean to try and put pressure on you to do it or something 😅

I just thought you were working on it.

Created a PR (#376) to solve this, don't know if you even consider merging this king of change
