How to type á , ç , ã , ç ... ??

Hello Guys!
I am very happy to have discovered the HIDMacros. Years ago I needed a perfect application like that to remap more than one device.
I am currently designing custom application commands and it has been very useful ... But I have a problem ...
I use a keyboard with English \ International layout and some special keys are needed here in Brazil, such as: ã; ç, ê....

Usually when the HID is not running, they work normally. For example, to get the letter: [ ç ] I type [ ' ] and then [ c ]. The [ ç ] appears automatically.
The same with [ ã ]. I type [ ~ ] and then [ a ] and it automatically appears.
But whenever the HID is open, all these functions stop working

I did not find anything about this in the documentation, I would ask for some help or tip to solve this problem.
Thank you for your attention!

It's already reported here at forum.
Can you check if luamacros have the same problem? That would be the only place when I can fix it, no new version of Hidmacros planned...

I noticed strange bug in LuaMacros, that might be related to this one.
For unknown reason, when i use my script, it only works with english keyboard layout.
When i switch to russian layout, no alphabet keys working properly.

Your script is quite complex (but cool ). Can you try to find out root cause and demonstrate it in some less sophisticated script? Would speed up things...

[mrsimb]

Yeah, wait a couple of minutes
Btw, i tried to localize that bug so hard, but it's like some magic happens that i could not understand

Code: Select all

clear()

keyNames = {
  [65] = 'a'
}

function handler(scanCode, direction)
  -- change your keyboard layout to russian
  -- press 'a'

  if (direction == 1 and scanCode == 65) then
    lmc_send_keys(keyNames[scanCode])
  end

  -- see how no characters been sent, and [KEY] ERROR thrown in log form
end

lmc_device_set_name('92&0&', '92&0&')
lmc_set_handler('92&0&', handler)

May be that's your lmc_send_keys tries to send characters, and if they are not in ascii (or whatever charset your programm uses) it just throws error

Ok, will take some time until I have a look because I'm currently busy with different sw project.
Maybe you can open issue at github (and for Abc/ABC too) for better tracking.

[mrsimb]

Ok

There are already opened issue about sending non-english characters
