Some Keys are not working

ebw · Post by **ebw** » Tue May 09, 2006 5:38 pm

I don't find the key used for the comm log in the linux port.

Can somebody help me to redefine the key map? I don't know
how to get grip of the macintosh codes, which are neede for
keyconfig.plist

The comm log key should be the one to the right of shift on ISO keyboards, and the one above Tab on US keyboards.

Hmm, this does not work for me. Both keys do not yield in the last communication.

Is there a possiblity to test the keys for their codes like xev in x?

PS.: I can't use my Advanced Space Compass either.

have you already looked at the (quite Linux-specific) wiki page?

No I didn't. Thanks for this help.

Excuse me causing you trouble.

I didn't test this. But on this page, there is a reference table of linux keycodes, but in the keyconfig.plist in the default install, there are the macintosh keycodes, so what is missing, is an translation table
linux keycodes -> macintosh keycodes

I don't know about those things exactly, but somewhere I read that,
SDL is translating the linux keycodes into macintosh keycodes, but
there can this be configured?

EDIT: Now I tested it with xev and the keycodes do differ from those in keyconfig.plist

Everythings ok now. I was too stupid to recognise, that I simply have to
put ascii codes int keyconfig.plist. So I simple use alphanumeric keys for everything now.
