Some media keys are mapped wrong

[rorgoroth]

Hi,

On my keyboard I have volume up and down, on F5 F6, you press FN to use the keys as F5 F6.

In game, pressing volume_down key crouches, so I test in the controls and here is the results:

volume_down(E0_2E) registers as "c" volume_up(E0_30) registers as "b" volume_mute(E0_20) registers as "d"

All normal keys work, but the F*/Funtion keys are all messed up.

Which platform, if Windows does the same issue appear in original ET.exe.

If Linux/SDL does it happen on ETL? And if linux are you using a self compile with or without SDL active.

Keyboard language/layout? In-game cl_language?

[rorgoroth]

This is on Windows, my keyboard is en_GB and in game is English (0)

It happens in original et.exe but is fixed in etl.exe

Then ETL only fixed it by using SDL on Windows and will be more complicated to track the windows fix down.

Are you knowledgeable to make a build for yourself? I have a way that helps diagnose the keys but I do not wish to turn it on globally for all users in pre-built bins if possible to avoid.

Uncommenting this line should give some data to help look further for when pressing those keys. As I am on Linux and not windows I cannot reproduce the issue locally.

Well, maybe it's not worth chasing - it's really a minor annoyance more than anything.

I did try as you suggest:

k+ wParam:000000ae lParam:012e0001
k+ wParam:000000af lParam:01300001

First is vol_down(f5) and second vol_up(f6)

Add at following line https://github.com/etfdevs/ETe/blob/master/src/win32/win_wndproc.c#L336

Com_Printf( "key: 0x%08x mod:%i ext:%i res:%i(%02x) vkey=%i scan=%i\n", key, modified, is_extended, result, result, nVirtKey, MapVirtualKey( nVirtKey, MAPVK_VK_TO_VSC ) );

No change unfortunately, same output. It's strange because just trying now, the brightness keys don't register at all.

The same happens in q3e though, but with the difference that volume control comes up on the screen as expected even though it still makes you crouch.

Did you recompiled it? Output should provide more info than before

[rorgoroth]

Yes, just that I'm an idiot and put them in my normal game dir rather than the test one. Here is output I press keys in this order: vol_down, vol_up, c, b

k+ wParam:000000ae lParam:012e0001
key: 0x012e0001 mod:46 ext:1 res:99(63) vkey=174 scan=46

Well just from that it appears scancodes for volume match the character scan codes.
