Keypad Key Mappings are out.

Post by medelec35 »

I am assinging keypad to operate when pressing numbers on keyboard.
For element 0 I have to assign Key 1 etc. So these are out.
I can't assign * key either.

Am I correct and is a bug, or just doing something wrong?

Hello,

The 'key' values on the left of the keymapping panel refer to the PC keyboard key value. The 'element' value refers to the individual feature of the Flowcode component.

Due to the variable layout of the keypad component, and the ability to import custom key cap images, the keypad element numbers represent the component key positions rather than their legends. The values start at the top left position (element 0).
The numbers increment left to right along each row, starting on the top row.

The element values take account of the column and row count of the keypad.

I have attached the keymap that matches the PC keyboard numeric keys to the equivalent keys on the default numeric keypad.

The * key is element 9 and the # key is element 11 for this layout. Either key could be substituted for any of the numeric keys.

The current limit of 10 mapped keys prevents the numeric (3 x 4) keypad from being fully mapped.

Ah 8) That would explain why I have to set key 1 to 0 to press key1 on number pad.
Thinking about it, that does make more sense, than the way I wrongly assumed it works. Especially if you have a customised keypad with different symbols on!
Thanks for clearing that up sean and I take the bug part back, although it does not state what you said in theFlowcode help
:P
