Macro: cannot send mouse key #289

Open tmk opened 8 years ago

tmk commented 8 years ago

I originaly designed that macro can send keycodes only of 0x04-0x73 to save memory space. So I didn't think about sending mouse and media key events in macro much. https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/blob/33714e55827d1cf52df1d3ff143f03fa34ad1f06/tmk_core/common/action_macro.h#L38-L55

But KEY_DOWN and KEY_UP macro should send be able to send mouse, media, system keys(or even Fn?). https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/blob/33714e55827d1cf52df1d3ff143f03fa34ad1f06/tmk_core/common/action_macro.c#L40-L59

register_code() cannot send mouse key for some reason. It seems be no reason for it cannot send mouse keys. https://github.com/tmk/tmk_keyboard/blob/33714e55827d1cf52df1d3ff143f03fa34ad1f06/tmk_core/common/action.c#L352-L425

@tmk I think someone has come across a solution. See this issue.
