bugmenot Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) I would really like a full keyboard with numpad and button like PrintScrn too! Something like numpad may seems useless, but actually Windows uses it for mimic the mouse, so it has a purpose, like other buttons, at least for me! (by the way how it's called the one right to the right Win button?!) Thank you. Edited April 16, 2015 by bugmenot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yawor Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 Hi, Until the feature is implemented you can use command line util to record keypad buttons. flirc_util.exe record_api XXX YYY where XXX is modifier value and YYY is a key HID code. HID codes for keypad are: 83 Keypad Num Lock and Clear 84 Keypad / 85 Keypad * 86 Keypad - 87 Keypad + 88 Keypad ENTER 89 Keypad 1 and End 90 Keypad 2 and Down Arrow 91 Keypad 3 and PageDn 92 Keypad 4 and Left Arrow 93 Keypad 5 94 Keypad 6 and Right Arrow 95 Keypad 7 and Home 96 Keypad 8 and Up Arrow 97 Keypad 9 and PageUp 98 Keypad 0 and Insert 99 Keypad . and Delete So if you want to record a button for keypad 8 without any modifiers then you should use flirc_util.exe record_api 0 96 and after pressing enter the command should wait for you to press some button on the remote. The modifier value is described in the help of the record_api command itself. The flirc_util.exe is in the same folder where the Flirc.exe is installed.

bugmenot Posted April 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Thank you! Before trying it, if I make a mistake can I delete the link normally from the GUI? Also in a laptop if PrintScrn is triggered using the Fn key, with this method the code for PrintScrn is enough, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yawor Posted April 18, 2015 Report Share Posted April 18, 2015 Yes, you can delete the button from the GUI but there is also a delete command in flirc_util.exe. If you run flirc_util.exe without any parameters you will get all available commands. The Fn key is a keyboard controller extension and it's not sending anything to the system itself. It just changes the HID code sent to the system by the controller when the key is pressed with or without holding the Fn key. In your case the PrintScrn key is sent when Fn key is pressed but this is just a hardware keyboard behavior. Using PrintScrn HID code in Flirc should be enough.
