grave not working on custom remote

[momar33]

I am making a custom remote that requires the grave key (the other character on the tilde key).

I set it to grave as found on the available keys list, but it does not work.

Here is my remote.lua code: `local kb = libs.keyboard;

-- Documentation -- http://www.unifiedremote.com/api

-- Keyboard Library -- http://www.unifiedremote.com/api/libs/keyboard

--@help Full Screen actions.fullScreen = function () kb.stroke("f"); end

--@help Pause actions.pause = function () kb.stroke("space"); end

--@help Switch Screens actions.switchSCreens = function () kb.stroke("grave"); end`

So I apparently looked in the wrong section for the keys. Windows does not have a grave.

How can I set a button up to use a tilde, also how can I set a button up to use the backtick?

Wow, I had always called it a backtick. TIL. I have a windows keyboard though, and it's on there?

Sorry for the shot in the dark, but does this not do it? kb.stroke("`");

[momar33]

kb.stroke("`"); does not work.

for the "tilde" or "backtick", (which.is "grave accent") instead of using kb.stroke

Instead, use the function kb.character

The kb.character uses the "character.keyboard" library found in unified remote, which uses UTF-8 hex coding (refer to the link at the bottom for details), but the coding is 0x60

So instead of kb.stroke("'");

our output will be kb.character(0x60);

Full string would look like the following:

actions.command1 = function () kb.character(0x60); end
