it doesn't work i already tried..if i press that combination nothing happens
 
with dosbox it can be sorted out by typing "keyb it" and thsi way you can use shift + : and it works.the problem is with freedos or other qemu img...it just won't work :(
 
Sorry to ask again, but some people do not get this on the first try: Are you sure you tried the left shoulder button and not the shift-button? They usually have the same function (enabling shift-mode) but in some applications like in dosbox they differ since they are based on different keycodes.
 
yeah i tried the LEFT SHOULDER BUTTON,that is on the top left...nothing at all....
 
You have to press the left shoulder + Fn + ;


Note, that this is a semicolon, not a colon.
