GCP Key Codes

From GameCommanderPro

Certain GCP commands send keys to game windows.

Basic keys

For example:

• Hit A will send "a" (note lower case, even though we entered and upper case character).
• Hit +A will send "A" (upper case, the plus sign means shift)
• Hit ^A will send control "a"
• Hit %A will send alt "a"
• Hit +^%A will send control-alt "A"
• Hit abcdef will send abcdef

Special keys

To send special codes (such as function keys) you enclose the "key name" in curly braces { and } for example:

• Hit {F1} sends function key 1
• Hit {End} sends the end key
• Hit +{F2} shift, alt and control work with these
• Hit +^{ABCDEF} is a way to send a group of keys with modifiers
• Hit {F1010} sends function key 10 repeated 10 times
  • note the number must start from position 4 onwards - i.e. the code expects a 2 character key code
  • {ABC5} would work (it would repeat "abc" 5 times
  • {A5} would not - it would send "a" then "5"

Key Binding

Basically the same codes are used for key binding.

The number pad keys are the only difference.

• Numpad0 is bound as NP0
• Numpad1 is bound as NP1
