Unmappable RAlt about gk6x HOT 12 CLOSED

so after many trial and errors and tracing your code i found out that there is no entry for index 8 in keymap.js and that's why it didn't recognize that key so i changed it and it finally worked

from gk6x.

That's odd I can map both RAlt and RCtrl to Left on my keyboard (GK84). Are you able to map RAlt to Left on the official software? Could you try typing the dumpkeys ex command to print a list of the keys in the order that they appear on the keyboard to see if there is a key miss-match. For example my GK84 prints:

`yes it's remappable on the official software

it says that i have RCtrl although it's RAlt on my keyboard`

from gk6x.

https://github.com/pixeltris/GK6X/tree/master/Build/Data/device/656801801/data go into all of the json files here and try replacing 0x02000010 with 0x02000040. What that will do is state that the key should be RAlt. What I think is happening is that because it's currently listed as RCtrl in the data files it fails to map the key because it's actually meant to be RAlt.

You might also need to modify this

It could also be possible that it detected the wrong model ID somehow? Thinking about it, it should work by mapping RCtrl as that's what the equivalent key should be, not sure why it isn't working.

from gk6x.

i changed the addresses as you said and recompiled and still can't be changed. also i was thinking about the model number maybe it's wrong as you said but i don't know how to find out the model number of my keyboard

from gk6x.

I guess it should be correct as the model ID is obtained from what is sent from the keyboard to the PC.

It was 5 months ago that I last obtained the data files so it could be they need updating, I'll look into doing that at some point.

There are a few things that I could suggest to try and find what the key index actually is (but it might be a bit more effort than you care to exert!)

Go through all of the indexes in the values array one by one and change the value to something like 0x02005000 (the 'Left' key). When you find the index that matches your RAlt key you should be able to update the .json files with the appropriate index and it should work. Avoid changing all keys at once as it'll make your keyboard unusable until you reset it.

2. Use the CommandLogger https://github.com/pixeltris/GK6X/tree/master/CommandLogger to see what is being sent from the official software. Unfortunately the CommandLogger isn't really set up to produce decent logs, it was just something I hacked together to document all the packets. You will want to put a log Log("keys: " + packet.ToString()) after the following line and see the output in the CommandLogger.txt file

from gk6x.

so i was able to find the index of RAlt it was 8 and when i hard code the left key in the code it maps successfully to left but when i change the index in the json files and try to map it nothing happens

also when i try to print values[8] it prints this 4294967295 the value of function key

from gk6x.

That's great that you got it working. I'll look into updating the data files at some point anyway as I imagine they should include that key (and possibly others on other keyboards) as the official software did work for you. It would be great if you could make a PR or comment here what changes you made so that someone could manually fix any similar issues that they might have.

from gk6x.

so the changes i made in order to be able to map the right alt key are as following in the keymap.js file of my device

i changed this
{ "KeyName": "Right Control", "Show": "Ctrl", "LogicCode": 6, "LocationCode": 99, "Position": { "Left": 794, "Top": 386, "Width": 50, "Height": 50 } }

to this
{ "KeyName": "Right Alt", "Show": "Alt", "LogicCode": 8, "LocationCode": 120, "Position": { "Left": 794, "Top": 386, "Width": 50, "Height": 50 } }

also i want to thank you for your help and really you did a great job

last thing i wanted to ask is it possible to change the light control key combos? like the ( fn+up ) or ( fn+] ) and change it to fn key and anything else?

from gk6x.

Thanks!

There are some lighting keys here but as noted the ones which cycle the lighting effects only work on the base layer, and it isn't possible to reprogram the base layer fn keys due to limitations in the firmware.

from gk6x.

great thanks a lot i will play with it and see what i can do

from gk6x.

The data files have been updated, so any mismatched keys should now (hopefully) be fixed.
