[Question] What is "keyboard_mapping" ? #41

Closed braoult closed 1 year ago

braoult commented 4 years ago

I wonder what is "keyboard_mapping" used for. I tried with "si" on my qwerty/us keyboard, and everything is working fine. Is this setting really necessary ? If not, it would allow any G910 user to use the driver, without fear...

If you just use hotkey_type run or python the keyboard_mapping doesn't matter. But if you use a shortcut or typeout it won't work as excepted because the keys are on different positions in different keyboard layouts. Just look up a german keyboard on google. You see almost all letters are identical except y and z are flipped. But when it comes to special chars there is nothing the same. This is alsmost for every country/language the case since they use different letters or signs more often then others.

I will add this info on the next chance to the readme.
