Atomic FE Keycodes
« on: September 16, 2007, 04:25:08 pm »
Hi,

I'm attempting to configure a Joy-to-key converter prorgame for use with Atomic FE, but before I do, I wish to understand the keycode representation against the physical key on the keyboard.

Can any one help me understand how I can convert an keycode, say 32, that is used on Atomic FE. I have searched for a table representation on google, buy there seems to be different keycodes for the same key?

Thanks,

Dariusz

Look here, at the end there is a table with virtual keycode for Windows and Macintosh. Of Atomic use the windows one.

More or less in windows Keycode of a key seems to match with the ASCII Code of the capital letter of key (but it is not the same thing at all).

If you want find the keycode of a key easily, you can use AtomicKey. If you try to define a new key , when you press on a key , it will display the keycode.

I hope it helps.
