2.5 Configuration File
The simulator's configuration file is a text file that may be edited and that is stored in
different locations depending on which host OS you are using.
If you are using Windows as host operating system the configuration file is located in:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\simnowrc
If you are using Linux as host operating system the configuration file is located in:
$HOME/.qt/simnowrc
Here is an example of the contents of this file, with an explanation:
[General]
[UserKeys]
CTL-ESC=Sends a CTL-ESC to the application,1D 01 81 9D
ALT-F4=Sends an ALT-F4 to the application,38 3e be b8
[UserBottons]
BUTTON0=”MyIconPath\MyIcon.png”,“cpu.name”

defined by a single line. This example defines two user keys. The string to the left of the
equal sign is the string t hat will be placed in the menu. To the right of the equal sign are
two strings, separated by a comma. The first string is the text that is displayed when the
user clicks on the "What's This" help button, and the second string is the list of scan codes

on the “Special Keyboard” menu, see Section 5.2.3, “Interaction with the Simulated
Machine”, on page 45.
