Description

« Hide

As it is now, we only get the arrow keys and pageup/pagedown keys. We need access to the entire keyboard from script, or at least the entire numpad in order to develop better scriptable UI.

This issue does not duplicate SVC-1590, as keys 1-0 are not relevent to gaming. We need access to tghe ENTIRE KEYBOARD, including the ability to remap default LL viewer keys.

Not a dupe. Editing the summary to better reflect the intent.

As it stands now, it isn't possible to map the entire keyboard, as level and edge in the control event are 32-bit values, with one control mapped to one bit. This allows simultaneous controls to be detected (though I wonder why the mouse left button is mapped twice, once for normal view and once for mouselook). So, the most we can detect is 32 possible control events. This should be plenty, though. I've got a related submission I'm putting together at the moment based on this and a couple of similar submissions.
