This won't work on Windows though, because it doesn't have a mapping for KC_PEQL
, changing the mapping to it renders the button functionless.
Edit: Seems windows maps it to "Clear" which on some programs somehow results in it entering the number 5, while on other programs it doesn't do anything.
I'm not going to push for the PR to be merged under the given circumstances. I am not able to switch to Windows on this FW16 to test it but this sounds like something that would need a Windows-side fix, and I'm not expecting that to happen anytime soon.
IMO, there should at least be raised awareness for Linux users that this key can and probably should be remapped to the correct key code with VIA. I have no idea how to make that happen outside of documentation and pointers to documentation.
Outrageous, I say. Outrageous!
Nah, I fully understand. We need to care about pesky Windows users. :)
I forgot to add that using KC_EQL will also not always work depending on the keyboard layout being used, as on a german keyboard for example that would result in ´
being entered.
My solution has just been using a macro for entering =
I do wish all OSs would properly support KC_PEQL
. But it seems peoples interest in proper support for KC_PEQL
in windows seems basically non-existant.
I independently stumbled upon this problem because I use Dvorak and my numpad equals key was inputting a closing square bracket character. I reprogrammed the key to the correct scan code (KC_PEQL
) using the web-based tool, and now it works correctly.
It's such a shame that Windblows doesn't know what to do with that scan code. Because of that, we will probably never have a correct firmware.
Describe the Bug
Framework 16 numpad module uses
KC_EQL
as equals key on numpad. This means that this key behaves same as main keyboard equals key; e.g. Shift shows '+' instead of '=' and different remappings of keyboard affect both.The proper key code for numpad would be
KC_PEQL
(akaKC_KP_EQUAL
) as that one is keypad specific and does not get remapped with keyboard.Keyboard Used
