hi

I try to use UIKeys++ , but it don't work. (?),it does not find uikeys.txt

thanks for help

1. have you tried to copy that file to your user data folder (usually $HOME/.spring/ )

2. where did you find uikeys++?

[anterak]

I found uikeys++ in this forum ( page 3 or 4 ).

and here : http://members.chello.nl/mjtobi/UIKeys++.tar.gz

[anterak]

finally, i can edit uikeys.txt.

I delete some // before bind command
I can nowuse CTRL &, CTRL ", CTRL ' .... to ccreate and select unit

I can draw in map with *

But, i can 't use ├â┬®├â┬¿├â┬º├â┬á, so, i can't make CTRL 2, CTRL 7, CTRL 9, ans CTRL 0.
( i use an azerty french keyboard , nobody's erfect :) )

i can 't find key's id for ├â┬®├â┬¿├â┬º├â┬á.
xev say idare 0xe9, 0xe8, 0xe7 and 0xe0 but it don't work.

I need hlep

[anterak]

in fact, in uuikeys.txt
put this line :
bind 0xe9 specteam1
bind Any+0xe9 group1

0xe9 is for ├â┬®,

is someone know how to do with mouse button ???
thanks

For some strange reason, UIkeys++ is looking for uikeys.txt in the root directory, /. So I suppose just ln -s $HOME/.spring/uikeys.txt / (assuming uikeys.txt is there) and it should work.

OMG !

Ok, I have a french azerty keyboard and I had this problem too.
With the help of anterak & xev I got the keycodes required and solved it.

So, anybody using a fr azerty keyboard should put thoses lines in the "uikeys.txt" file (in the spring dir), it should make the groups thing work.

Code: Select all

bind 0x26 specteam 1
bind Any+0x26 group1 
bind 0xe9 specteam 2
bind Any+0xe9 group2 
bind 0x22 specteam 3
bind Any+0x22 group3 
bind 0x27 specteam 4
bind Any+0x27 group4 
bind 0x28 specteam 5
bind Any+0x28 group5 
bind 0x2d specteam 6
bind Any+0x2d group6 
bind 0xe8 specteam 7
bind Any+0xe8 group7 
bind 0x5f specteam 8
bind Any+0x5f group8 
bind 0xe7 specteam 9
bind Any+0xe7 group9 
bind 0xe0 specteam 0
bind Any+0xe0 group0 

please also remove/comment the line

Code: Select all

bind - slowdown

to avoid conflict with "-" (= "6" key here). Simply use the numpad '-' button to decrease speed.

I'm bumping this to say thanks (I can finally use control groups!) and because I almost posted a new thread asking exactly the same thing

I too use a French keyboard

[albator]

this worked for me

Code: Select all

bind 0x26 specteam 1
bind Any+0x26 group1
bind 0xe9 specteam 2
bind Any+0xe9 group2
bind 0x22 specteam 3
bind Any+0x22 group3
bind 0x27 specteam 4
bind Any+0x27 group4
bind 0x28 specteam 5
bind Any+0x28 group5
bind 0x2d specteam 6
bind Any+0x2d group6
bind 0xe8 specteam 7
bind Any+0xe8 group7
bind 0x5f specteam 8
bind Any+0x5f group8
bind 0xe7 specteam 9
bind Any+0xe7 group9
bind 0xe0 specteam 0
bind Any+0xe0 group0 

Now i need the same for turning the buildings (usually "[" and "]")
