  • Ersatz-11 define keypress

    I'm using Ersatz-11 v7.0 Demo and I can't work out how to get the
    key to the left of the '1'/above the 'TAB' to generate a keycode.
    The documentation seems to say that ` (chr$96) represents that
    key, so eg
    define keypress ` number '4$'
    would cause it to generate 4 and with Shift generate $. But nothing
    happens.

    I've tried with a UK keyboard labelled ` and that negate symbol,
    and a US keyboard with it labelled `~ and PS/2 and USB, to no
    avail. No other application fails to respond to that key.
