irrlicht key events for tilde

lion · Post by **lion** » Wed Dec 10, 2008 1:51 pm

Hello everybody. I have some problems with key events for key ~ (tilde). I had not found KEY_KEY_TILDE or something like this.

When i compile my application under windows XP (VS 5.0) and try to press ~, then i get

Code: Select all

 event.KeyInput.Key == 0xC0

I tried to search irrlich documentation, but there are no EKEY_CODE for 0xC0.

Under linux (ubuntu 8.10) after pressing ~:

Code: Select all

 event.KeyInput.Key == 0

I want to open console with this key and don't like to use F2 or F10 for this task.

Is there the way to solve this problem (both win and linux)?

PS sorry for my bed english

That key is a problem since it's subject to localisation issues.

I'd suggest that you check event.KeyInput.Char for '~' instead.

Yes. It works. It is not very comfortable, but works on linux. Thank you very match.
