iirreelleevvaanntt Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 Right then, here's my problem I have an international keyboard, and my customized my layout so that the letters P and O and I are written, when I type the keys on which there are my national(country) letters painted on. I have this custom layout because I my normal P O and I keys are unresponsive(broken), and since I literally never use my country national letters, I used a windows keyboard mapper to remap the keys, so I can type P O and I again. The problem is because Skyrim, whenever I type P O and I, instead of accepting P O and I, it accepts the keys which would be input if I still had my normal natiional keyboard layout, but I dont, I customized it. All the other games accept my customized windows keyboard layout, but for some reason skyrim does not. Skyrim when I type O, I and P it ignores my custom keyboard layout and it just types Æ È Ø... now, all the other games, multiplayer and singleplayer, all games recognise my custom windows keyboard, so that when i press Æ they read P and when I press Ø they read I and when I press È they read O, but Skyrim doesnt read that..in Skyrim when I press the keys Æ È Ø skyrim types Æ È Ø instead of P I O ,,, How do I make Skyrim read my custom windows keyboard layout that i customized with a program called ''Microsoft keyboard layout creator'' And dont say ''buy new keyboard'' because this keyboards works awesome and I can use everything i need and type everything i need, they keys O P I have been broken for 2 years and ive been working with the remapped layout just great for 2 years and the others games accept it but this is the first time ive encountered a problem. Why doesnt skyrim read my custom windows keyboard layout and how do i make it read it ? Thank you in advance for any helpful answers, PS: also, i noticed if i press CTRL + V, it wont paste the letters into the window where im trying to type my name but can't because skyrim reads Æ È Ø when I press Æ È Ø instead of reading O P I when i press Æ È Ø . Therefore, I can't create a character with O P I because Skyrim wont read the inputs.... This is the same reason I can't type console commands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormcrown Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Just a thought honestly...but, perhaps you could look into the program AutoHotKey There are some pretty extensive things you can do with it. For my own uses, I use the mouse button on the side of my mouse (Mouse 4) for a push to talk key..but it also is the back button in the browser. Using AutoHotKey, it remapped the key to do nothing, so it no longer goes back in the browser. This makes me think that AutoHotKey works BEFORE other applications. Anyhow, just a random suggestion. Here is a link to their forums, perhaps you could ask one of their talented scripters to see if its possible for Autohotkey to fix your problem.

nosisab Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) Skyrim like all Bethesda games don't identify the key by the character in it but by the matrix, I mean by the position the key occupy in that matrix (what is someway tied with their actual position in the keyboard. For example: the tilde key to open the console is that one at left of the number 1 key in most keyboards, above the Tab key. The WASD is whatever keys occupying the positions they have in the US QWERTY keyboard and so on. Now, for scripting you need to identify if is being used the PS/2 or the USB standard, also known as scan codes. Some applications can't read some these standards.

faifh Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Try the control panel, internationalisation and install yourself an english layout. You can fast switch between keyboard layouts with alt+shift or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
