Duplicate Keycode name
Archives Forums/BlitzMax Bug Reports/Duplicate Keycode name
| ||
Looking at keycodes.h I noticed there are two number pad keys defined with very similar names :KEY_NUM0=96,KEY_NUM1,KEY_NUM2,KEY_NUM3,KEY_NUM4, KEY_NUM5,KEY_NUM6,KEY_NUM7,KEY_NUM8,KEY_NUM9, KEY_NUMMULTIPLY=106,KEY_NUMADD,KEY_NUMSLASH, KEY_NUMSUBTRACT,KEY_NUMDECIMAL,KEY_NUMDIVIDE, KEY_NUMSLASH and KEY_NUMDIVIDE. Also, the number pad EQUALS key is missing? In keycodes.bmx, 108 is missing, which corresponds with KEY_NUMSLASH. Should this be EQUALS? Or is equals missed out because there is already an equals key elsewhere on the keyboard? |

| I would hazard a guess that the EQUELS key is already defined elsewhere (keydown data=48). On my keyboard it's not in the numpad, but in KEY_0. Keycode 108 doesn't seem to exist (I tried every key) -Henri |

| Maybe because "KEY_NUMSLASH" would only exist on specific keyboard layouts. This is what I have on MY keyboard: [numlock] [divide] [multiply] [ minus ] [ 7 ] [ 8 ] [ 9 ] ,-------, [ 4 ] [ 5 ] [ 6 ] |___+___| [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] ,-------, [ 0 ] [ , ] |_ENTER_| I just cannot imagine a case needing a "Slash" ... numpads are for accountants, so they need everything to enter simple calculations (in Germany the ". / Del"-Key is ", Entf" because our delimeter is "," instead of ".") - that is why the keycode is called "NUMDECIMAL". Javascript defines keycodes this way: http://unixpapa.com/js/key.html According to this, the numberes used in BlitzMax are the same, Mozilla and Internet Explorer use: KEY CODE . Del 110 0 Ins 96 1 End 97 2 down-arrow 98 3 Pg Dn 99 4 left-arrow 100 5 101 6 right-arrow 102 7 Home 103 8 up-arrow 104 9 Pg Up 105 + 107 - 109 * 106 / 111 See -- 108 is not used. SO: "KEY_NUMSLASH" is just ... obsolete or never existed. Maybe it was inteded as "equal" to "KEY_NUMDIVIDE" But because signs might differ, it got removed: ENGLISH GERMAN / · / ----- / · bye Ron |
