Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I've messed with his off and on for a while. As someone who started PC gaming in the early 2000s, I'm used to WASD in PC FPS games. Is there any way that I can use the keymapper in DOSBox to bind "alt+left" to "a" and "alt+right" to "d", assuming the games allow strafing with the alt key combinations.

Thanks in advance for the help,

Unlike some things you might be used to, in DOSBox the same real key can be bound to multiple virtual ones at once.
Just bind a to Alt and then to Right.

I knew I could do two key bindings, but I was doing it backwards. I was trying to bind alt and left to a instead of binding a to alt and left.
Thanks for the help Fifth. :D
