Request for Comment (RFC) Change of Keyboard plugin Events

[Ron]

Okay as it turns out the current solution with the hex string is not compatible across different languages on Keyboards.. I would like to change the events a little, to hopefully be compatible across different keyboards.

[Ron]

If someone with an international keyboard could test this that would be great.

Q = 51000000
Left arrow :2500000 or 2500000E (depending on which arrow key is used.)
F1 = 70000000

[Mastiff]

Shouldn't be a problem. I've got a very non english keyboard, but it shouldn't take that long to do something with the few commands I have that are keyboard driven. Better to change it early than later.

[Ron]

Hey there can anyone verify on his non-us keyboard if those numbers I posted match?

[Mastiff]

Confimed. I posted in time between your first and second message... The keys give the correct codes, but when I type with Girder loaded with that DLL I get "e-" for every "e"!

[Ron]

Can you explain that? "e-" for every "e" ?

[Mastiff]

E-e-e-e-h... E-ve-ry time- I pre-ss an e, it come-s out as e--. Get it? :wink:

[Ron]

Can you disable all GML's in Girder. I have a feeling it is not the plugin :-)

[Mastiff]

Your application for the psychich of the month club has been granted.

[Ron]

Palm reading only $50. Results garantueed.

[Mastiff]

Good! Because I have a good one for you: How the "%&#¤ do I find out what command creates this e- stuff? In G3 you could see what was triggered because it was activated. Neither the LUA console or the logger shows anything being executed.

[Ron]

Hey "results garantueed" doesn't mean correct results, just results.

Currently there is no direct way to find out. Start by disabling GMLS and work your way back to the action by enabling and checking if this happens. Or use the Find window to search for all keyboard actions.

[Mastiff]

Found it. Wasn't that difficult either. Will the codes that I see now be the ones that are staying on, so I can correct my stuff to this?

[Ron]

Let's see if we can find someone with a french or German keyboard....

[Mastiff]

Can't you just set the keyboard standard in one of your computers to french or german? I use both english and norwegian keyboards on my systems, and they seem to work exactly the same, the labels on the keys is the only difference.

[Ron]

I'd prefer having someone with another non-us keyboard try.

[Mastiff]

OK.

[Erstam]

Ok, here is the confirm of a german keyboard user. All keys match your codes.

Erstam

[Ron]

Great then this plugin will be the new keyboard plugin (ducking down to take the heat from the other users who now have to redo some stuff). Sorry.

[Mastiff]

And zhen we juzt don't care about ze frenzch, huh? :lol:

[birty]

who does? :lol:

[Mastiff]

Have you seen where Rowan Atkinson (mr. Bean) is the devil, "but you may call me Toby"? "And the french? Are you all here? You can stand over by the germans, I'm sure you have a lot to talk about." :lol:

[Erstam]

What codes do I use for blocking keys? The hexcodes or the new ones?

Erstam

[Ron]

the new ones.

[BeRnA]

I had to return to the old keyboad plugin, because in the G4 A22 all my keyboard special keys returns the same event :cry:

[Ron]

:( Can you tell me what number those special keys have, then I'll handle those in a special manner.

[Ron]

Does anyone else have special keys on their keyboard? If so could you press a couple and paste the resulting event strings here. Thanks.

[Ron]

Okay this one attaches two extra digits to the end if the keycode if FF. If someone could try this again that would be great.

[birty]

that version works for me

[Ron]

Thanks
