Each key on any keyboard has a unique Direct Input Keyboard (DIK) code. They are '''not''' character symbols. They refer to the '''position of the key''' on the keyboard. In other words, depending on the keyboard layout, the actual key can change, but its position is always identical. This is useful to '''fulfill ergonomic needs'''.

== Usage in scripts ==


DIK codes are '''always''' accompanied by the state of the SHIFT, ALT, and CTRL keys. Any script can differentiate between 'Q' and ALT-Q.

Each key on any keyboard has a unique Direct Input Keyboard (DIK) code. They are not character symbols. They refer to the position of the key on the keyboard. In other words, depending on the keyboard layout, the actual key can change, but its position is always identical. This is useful to fulfill ergonomic needs.


In addition to that, using DIK codes has more advantages:

  • Recognize keys that can not be represented in character equivalents. Function keys for example have no character set code.
  • Using the defines below, makes using key codes easier in configs, since the actual code is replaced by a memorable string, e.g DIK_K instead of 0x25.
  • Unique DIK codes exist for numeric pad '9' versus standard key '9'. They are key codes, not character codes.
ⓘ
Specific keys cannot be detected with DIK codes, since the position of the keys changes with the Keyboard layout (QWERTY, Dvorak).


Script Usage

DIK codes are always accompanied by the state of the ⇧ Shift, Alt, and Ctrl keys. Any script can differentiate between e.g Q and Alt + Q.

ⓘ
For parameters passed to key event handlers, see onKeyDown event handler.

Example Script

#include "\a3\ui_f\hpp\definedikcodes.inc" findDisplay 46 displayAddEventHandler ["KeyDown", { params ["_displayOrControl", "_key", "_shift", "_ctrl", "_alt"]; private _override = false; if (_key isEqualTo DIK_W) then // DIK_W = 17 = 0x11 { systemChat "You pressed W."; if (_shift) then { systemChat "You are not allowed to use Shift + W!"; _override = true; }; }; _override; }];
