Keys are interpreted incorrectly on Linux #52
Description
Description
Depending on if the program is ran on Windows or Linux, the key codes are interpreted differently. This results in the numpad keys and some letter keys being interpreted incorrectly. Further inspection revealed that the virtual key codes appear to be about 32 apart from each other for the letter keys, and different amounts apart in other types of keys (!! is only 16 apart). Numpad keys don't register virtual key codes.
Example of the behavior when typing !reload:
| Type | Linux | Windows |
|---|---|---|
| Read as: | Key.shift | Key.shift |
| Virtual Key: | 33 | 49 |
| Read as: | ! | ! |
| Virtual Key: | 114 | 82 |
| Read as: | r | r |
| Virtual Key: | 101 | 69 |
| Read as: | 5 | e |
| Virtual Key: | 108 | 76 |
| Read as: | l | l |
| Virtual Key: | 111 | 79 |
| Read as: | o | o |
| Virtual Key: | 97 | 65 |
| Read as: | 1 | a |
| Virtual Key: | 100 | 68 |
| Read as: | 4 | d |
Example of the behavior when typing out numpad 0 - 9
| Type | Linux | Windows |
|---|---|---|
| Virtual Key: | None | 96 |
| Read as: | 0 | 0 |
| Virtual Key: | None | 97 |
| Read as: | 1 | 1 |
| Virtual Key: | None | 98 |
| Read as: | 2 | 2 |
| Virtual Key: | None | 99 |
| Read as: | 3 | 3 |
| Virtual Key: | None | 100 |
| Read as: | 4 | 4 |
| Virtual Key: | 65437 | 101 |
| Read as: | <65437> | 5 |
| Virtual Key: | None | 102 |
| Read as: | 6 | 6 |
| Virtual Key: | None | 103 |
| Read as: | 7 | 7 |
| Virtual Key: | None | 104 |
| Read as: | 8 | 8 |
| Virtual Key: | None | 105 |
| Read as: | 9 | 9 |
Mac testing is required.
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Download the repo and install all dependencies
- Checkout the branch feature/delimiter-check (This branch has test outputs built in)
- Run text-script.py while in the textscript cwd
- Try typing !reload and numpad 0-9
Expected behavior
Text-Script should have interpreted the virtual key codes the same way on all OS's.
Setup
- OS: Linux
- Running feature/delimiter-check from Pycharm
