Weird keyboard behavior
« on: September 16, 2017, 01:45:51 pm »

Might belong in technical support but I didn't see one.

I can't get the Numpad+ key to register in-game.

In the main menu, I can set it to secondary select, or whatever that's called, and it's already there. Fine. Delete that one, add another bound by position. Shows up fine. But exit out, and it still is not there. I think what it's doing is taking it to the first in the list. If I want to get to the second item, I either have to use something other than they keypad or "-" through the whole list.

Strange thing is the Numpad+ works fine in other programs, it shows the correct keyboard scan, and, if nothing else, using DF to do the keybinding for DF seems like it should work. But no joy.

Any suggestions?

Tried replacing your keybinding text with default one?

Here are the current relevant lines from interface.txt:

[BIND:SECONDSCROLL_UP:REPEAT_SLOW]
[KEY:-]
[SYM:0:Numpad Minus]
[BIND:SECONDSCROLL_DOWN:REPEAT_SLOW]
[KEY:+]
[KEY:=]
[SYM:0:Numpad Plus]
[SYM:0:Numpad Plus]


Those are the only instances of "Numpad Plus" in the file, so I don't think it's being overwritten by something else. At least not there...

Found it. For some reason "+" was bound by key to secondary paging as well as secondary scrolling. Removed the conflict and it works fine. I was so fixated on the SYM: bindings that I was ignoring the KEY:

Thanks!
