New/Virtual Keys #30

Closed sapioit closed 6 years ago

sapioit commented 6 years ago

I see in the Key Names there is F1-F24, so I though of asking if there is any way to add our own custom virtual keys, like how the MouseButton4 and MouseButton5 are.

I mean, I'd like to have a second keyboard with all the keys different from the main keyboard. Can I just have the second keyboard's keys be, aa, ab, ac, etc. and have them recognized by apps when setting hotkeys?

I want to play old same-screen multiplayer games using different keyboards (so they can both have assigned the exact same keys but on different keyboards).

No. Those keys are standard in windows - see https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/desktop/inputdev/virtual-key-codes. Just keyboards have usually only F1-10. But you can't add your own keys

I understand. Is it impossible to add new keys? I mean, not as a keyboard, but as having the keyboard be treated like a custom device (which apparently can have more/different keys).

No. This is what custom keyboard driver could do, but luamacros is not such software
