Issue with keyboards, keybinds, and numlock.
Using a wireless keyboard. No numlock, no keyboard short command available.
Issue:
From in the game, set a macro for the end key. Example, za. set to end key as a macro.
This sets the 1 numpad key to za. as well. And, the same result if setting any macro to numpad 1.
Complaint:
I like to use the numpad to move around. And, on this keyboard the end key is right next to numpad 4, and I like it set my primary blasty spell to it. The issue prevents me from doing this, and it's driving me nuts.
What I know about this issue:
Using a simple script I checked what the keycode was for both end key and numpad 1 key, followed by all the numpad keys and pg up, pg dn, insert, delete, and home as well. The scrit returned different keycode values for each key.
Inside the offline game I checked what the game was returning for the key value of the end key and numpad 1 key, using create a macro, cntrl ~, and it returned the values -248 for both end key and numpad 1 key.
What I think is the problem source:
I think when the game is on-screen and active, numlock is off. Possibly by default.
My Issue:
With no numlock key, and I can't press numlock to turn on and can't get a differnt key code value for end/pg dn/pg up/insert/delete. Registery has the keyboard set to value of 2, so num lock should be in the on state. on-screen-keyboard only effects the on-screen-keyboard when you turn on num lock. Hence, no way to turn on or off num lock when playing the off-line game version.
Conclusion:
I'd like someone to show me a way to work around this issue if possible. I even unbinded the movement keys, but that didn't effect numpad or the end/pg dn/pg upinsert/delete keys.
