Language related send_string issue #23946

Closed zadorid88 closed 2 weeks ago

Issue Description

Hi,

First time ever trying to code something, and I am stuck.

I need a macro which does two simple key taps: "LALT" first, than "ő". I used

include "keymap_hungarian.h"

include "sendstring_hungarian.h"

but the string doesn't seem to know this "ő" letter, no matter what I do.

I can program the letter to a dedicated key using "HU_ODAC", which is the code from the "keymap_hungarian.h", but it doesn't work in sendstring.

I tried: SEND_STRING(SS_TAP(X_LALT)"ODAC") SEND_STRING(SS_TAP(X_LALT)"Ő") SEND_STRING(SS_TAP(X_LALT)"HU_ODAC") SEND_STRING(SS_TAP(X_LALT)"X_ODAC") but no luck.

Please help!

Please read the docs: https://docs.qmk.fm/features/send_string#send-string Only ASCII characters are supported.

Thank you!

To clarify, the sendstring header is mainly to map the ASCII character set to the appropriate keycodes for the specific language. It does not allow you to use any character from that language in sendstrings.

You can still call tap_code() (and tap_code16() for modified keycodes) with the keycodes from the keymap header. For short sequences like Alt+ő this is preferable to sendstring anyway as that's mostly for typing out longer things like sentences.

Wow, this worked, thank you very much! :)
