Shorcut command problem
BlitzPlus Forums/BlitzPlus Programming/Shorcut command problem You're always going to get that because the keys themselves are exactly the same, it's just their ASCII codes that are different. This isn't a Blitz bug. On a UK keyboard, the " sign is above the 2, but on a US keyboard the @ sign is. But the 2 key is still the 2 key, so it can't be changed.
I consider this 'kind of' a Blitz bug!
The idea of scancodes is that they represent physical key positions on a keyboard.
But I think this is next to useless. Any kind of game/app is gonna have to describe these codes to the user - and 'the top left key on your keyboard' doesn't quite cut it!
Windows gets around this by using 'virtual' keys - kind of like scancodes, but associated with the glyph actually printed on the key instead of its physical position.
I think this is a better solution, and one Blitz will eventually follow.
