custom keycode for OtherKey

[Corallus-Caninus]

I cant seem to get OtherKey() to work with the enumeration. Ive tried the hex code returned from xev and the uint returned from showkey. Is there further documentation or a working example?

Thanks.

Same here, did you manage to get it to work?

Also interested in this. Any hint on how to get other keys via the OtherKey?

I figured out how to bind to OtherKey (windows) so I'm sharing what worked for me, unsure if it's the correct way of doing things since this is my first time touching rust:

OtherKey(0xe2).bind(move || {
        //...
});

To get the code I used this website: https://kbdlayout.info/

You need to pick your keyboard layout and then check the Virtual Key for the Scan Code you need.

For example, I'm capturing the angle bracket key (<) for the Spanish Keyboard layout: https://kbdlayout.info/kbdsp/virtualkeys (it's next to left shift):

SC	VK	Name
56	E2	VK_OEM_102

The key is called VK_OEM_102 internally, and the scan code is 56, but the virtual key is E2. So the correct value is 0xe2, as per the code above.

It can be a bit confusing because for example, using 56 here would match instead the letter V (VK_V):

SC	VK	Name
2F	56	VK_V
