Title: Keys not interfering with joystick

Does Anyone know a key combination for movement+fire that doesn't interfere with joystick 0?

I mean in the CPC and not adding diodes to the port.

For now I'm using F2,F4,F6,F8,Space,X, plus P for pause

If I'm not wrong that combination can only generate ghost Joy 1 Fire 3.

I'm using B,N,M,H for movement and Z,X as fire buttons. They don't seem to interfere...

Well, quite a long time ago I made tool to see which keys interfere...

It's called 'Show Keys' and you'll find it on the attached DSK. And it runs under FutureOS.
