I'm new to attempting to play C64 games in Bizhawk, and got stuck immediately. I tried to load a .T64 game, and arrived at the READY-prompt. When a game doesn't load automatically, I read that I should type either "RUN" or "LOAD" or something like that. But how do I type? Keys are assigned to different hotkeys, and there's no input when typing anyway. Should I change input settings first somehow, or how do I use the keyboard in Bizhawk?

Firstly, BizHawk doesn't support .t64 files. This guide should get you started with TASing/playing C64 games in BizHawk. https://tasvideos.org/Bizhawk/C64 You can use the virtual pad to visualize/use the C64 keyboard. Its in the menu under Tools>Virtual Pad. You can define keymapping in the menu also Config>Controllers, then in the "console" tab.
