These are the default keybindings. They can be changed using the keymapper.
Note: If you're using a Mac and are having trouble with the function keys, you may need to set your F keys to function as function keys. You can do this by going to System Preferences > Keyboard, going to the Keyboard area, and checking the "Use all F1, F2, etc" box.
| Key | Action |
|---|---|
| ALT-ENTER | Switch to full-screen (and back). |
| ALT-PAUSE (ALT-F16 on OS X) | Pause emulation. |
| CTRL-F1 | Show the keymapper configuration screen, |
| CTRL-F4 | Update cached information about mounted drives. Useful if you changed something on a mounted drive outside of DOSBox. Also cycles through disk images mounted using IMGMOUNT. |
| CTRL-F5 | Save a screenshot (goes to capture folder). |
| CTRL-ALT-F5 | Start/Stop recording of AVI video. NOTE: You may well have some problems with this, please see Recording Video for more information. |
| CTRL-F6 | Start/Stop recording sound output to a wave file (goes to capture folder). |
| CTRL-ALT-F7 | Start/Stop recording of OPL commands. |
| CTRL-ALT-F8 | Start/Stop the recording of raw MIDI commands. |
| CTRL-F7 | Decreases frameskip. |
| CTRL-F8 | Increases frameskip. |
| CTRL-F9 | Kill (close) DOSBox. |
| CTRL-F10 | Capture/Release the mouse (if you need to use the mouse within DOSBox). |
| CTRL-F11 | Decrease DOSBox cycles (slows down the emulation). |
| CTRL-F12 | Increase DOSBox cycles (speeds up the emulation). |
| ALT-F12 | Unlock speed (turbo button). |
These default bindings are also documented in the README file accompanying the software.
