ExtendeD, I have posted severall messages about that...

What about the programs which need to use the numeric keys for menus (Norse, Nover, mViewer...) or for inputting data (Norse) ?


Such a trick should not be cared of at the Ndless level.

If I've understood well, I would need to modify all of them in order to check for arrow keys... And once the TouchPad arrows are supported, I'll need to modify them back to check for numeric keys...


Why don't you simply let the programmers the freedom to decide by themselves how they want to handle numeric key presses in their own programs?


If the "2" key is being pressed, Ndless should simply report that the "2" key has been pressed and not the "down-arrow", which is a lie.

I don't think it's hard for game developers to check for "right_arrow OR 6 OR 3 OR 9" for example...
And as programs have anyway to be recompiled in order to work with the TouchPad keypad, I can't understand at all why you've made such a strange mapping.


Thanks for reading.
