Hello, I thought that HidMacros or LuaMacros would solve my problem, but it seems I'm stuck. I have a Sun Type 7 Keyboard which I really like (the layout, the mushy feel, and the extra keys). These keys are easily usable in anything but Windows and come configured by default in pretty much and Xorg and XFree86 version (the keyboard is backwards compatible with earlier Type 5/6). There are 11 keys to the left of the keyboard and four in the top-right hand corner for a total of 15. Here's a page I found on the net which shows the keyboard in detail: Windows doesn't recognize the keys at all. It doesn't do anything, and HidMacros fails to scan for them or show them as last keypresses.

LuaMacros example script doesn't show them either. For what it's worth, the keyboard returns completely 'normal' scan codes in that Return is 0xff0d, Tab is 0xff09, etc. Some of the extra keys send (as reported by xev under Linux): Help: 0xff6a Stop: 0xff69 Front: 0x1005ff71 Again: 0xff66 Undo: 0xff65 Copy: 0x1008ff57 The example script doesn't return these scan codes at all. It does report Print Screen and Pause correctly: Not yet assigned: 44 Not yet assigned: 255 (Print Screen: 0xff68) Not yet assigned: 19 Not yet assigned: 255 (Pause: 0xff13) For some reason, Tab and Return are not reported with the 255: Not yet assigned: 09 (Tab is 0xff09) Not yet assigned: 13 (Return is 0xff0d) Assuming that there is a way to assign macros to Print Screen and/or Pause, it should be possible to assign them to other keys.

Stop is 0xff69, so should report scan codes 45 followed by 255, but it doesn't. A couple of questions: 1. Dolzhnostnaya instrukciya glavnogo specialista upravleniya obrazovaniya.

Jan 18, 2014 - Locate the listing for the keyboard/mouse software and remove it. When prompted to remove the keyboard/mouse drivers files, click Yes. Some even say you build one, but I don't like the thought of this -- I'm a software engineer for a reason; I hate hardware. Using it under Linux (X11 specifically).

Is Windows completely blocking these keys and does it mean it is impossible to use them? Is it possible to bind these keys to some macros? I don't care for the original shortcuts, I want to be able to use them for various macros. Is it possible to add support for this keyboard to LuaScripts? Code: lmc_log_all(); in the beginning of your script - you will get lots of debug output but may see if at least raw input gets some message. To your questions: 1) how can I know?.

The keyboard probably requires special windows driver to use those keys. I don't own this keyboard so cannot give you more specific info 2) only if you got at least raw messages for them and even in that case LuaMacros would have to be modified for this scenario 3) probably not. Not having this keyboard there's not much I can do. I tried the RAW input and almost none of the keys appear to send any output (at least nothing that's logged). The only key that does send output is the suspend/power key (the Moon symbol), and the output is more-or-less identical to other keys (with the obvious difference that it appears as code 255). It's strange that I don't need to do anything under Linux to make it work (even in a VM), but Windows fails to see them completely. In fact, it looks like Windows is actively filtering these keys out.
