Issue regarding Arrow Keys

[Grt-sc]

Arrow keys, when assigned in the io-cct tool work properly, but once imported as a .JSON file into OBS incorrectly read as the NUMPAD arrow keys rather than the regular arrow keys.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
using a pre-existing overlay, attempt to assign anything to any of the arrow keys by having it read the arrow keys as inputs. test to verify it works in io-cct, then import into OBS Studio

Expected behavior
buttons to function when regular arrow keys are pressed.

Additional information:

• Plugin version: 5.0.0

I have a (potentially) similar issue with the Delete, Home, Page Up, Page Down, and arrow keys. I say potentially cus I'm using a 65% keyboard and I can't tell if OBS is failing to detect the press or they are being registered as something else like in your case.

Oh and all of these are correctly being registered in io-cct.

It's any of the scan codes that are a two byte sequence. Arrow keys, Insert, Home, Page Up/Down etc. are all prefixed with 0xE0 on Windows.

The io-cct tool generates the decimal equivalent of 0x0Enn in the json file. I tried the decimal equivalent of 0xE0nn but that didn't work either.

Edit: solved by using 0xEEnn as per kwhat/libuiohook#96

I changed 0xE0nn to 0xEEnn through io-cct but it didn't work, then i tried 0xEE0nn and still didn't work, did i misinterpretate your solution?
With "nn" you mean the two digits numeric or alphanumeric value, right?

I had problems with changing it through io-cct too (i couldn't get rid of the 0 after the x), so I changed the decimal numbers in the json file directly with a Notepad.
So the UP, LEFT, RIGHT, DOWN keys in the io-cct are mapped as 0xE048, 0xE04B, 0xE04D, 0xE050 respectively in hexadecimals, so they're 57416, 57419, 57421, 57424 respectively in decimals. Problem is that in OBS these values are for the NumPad arrows. The real Arrow Keys are mapped 0xEE48, 0xEE4B, 0xEE4D, 0xEE50 respectively in hexadecimals, therefore they're 61000, 61003, 61005, 61008 respectively in decimals.
So you just open the json file, that you created via io-cct, with a simple Notepad and you change those decimals to the right ones.
Sorry for over-explaining, just wanted to be clear enough about the whole issue for anyone that might read it later.

Ok that worked for the arrow keys but what would be the decimals of Delete, Home, Page Up, Page Down?

No idea, we would need to figure out the right numbers for those somehow...
Could be worth trying out the numbers adjacent to these: 57416, 57419, 57421, 57424, since they're on the NumPad as well.
One thing though (seems kind of obvious but needs to be said): having Block Num off matters

[ZXGuesser]

Insert = 61010
Delete = 61011
Home = 60999
End = 61007
PageUp = 61001
PageDown = 61009

Some things I never found a solution for, such as `, ', #, and \ all give the wrong scan codes on my keyboard layout, which I understand is an issue with the underlying libuihook library.

[DrakePHOSE]

Those work. Thank you so much. <3

Having the same issue for the arrow keys and the solution above unfornately do not work. I'm currently on Linux Manjaro 21.0.

didnt quite work, sittin here on ubuntu and i have no idea how to figure out what the keys are

[Redd56]

update: i have checked nearly every place i can think on both this project and libuio and tried every key and still no luck

[treierxyz]

I also can't get the arrow keys to work, would really like to move to v5.0 already but this is preventing me from doing so

[Electrollama]

Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS, neither 0xE04D nor 0xEE4D work for RightArrow, but 0xEE4D does correspond to NumRightArrow.

[crazyzimuki]

I also could not get the arrow keys to work. OBS 27.1.3 (64 bit).
Input overlay version 5.0.0 rc1.
The fix suggested by EluxRed did not work for me.

[javaarchive]

Here's me spamming up down left right on Ubuntu 20.04 running wscat on the builtin websocket server
Here's a config that seems to work for me (right arrow oddly has key code 0)

So
Up -> 3639
Left -> 3640
Right -> 0
Down -> 3676
Not sure if setting right key as keycode 0 will cause side effects.

[univrsal]

The right arrow being 0 is a bug with libuihook. I think it's already been fixed, but I'll have to make a new build with the new library version first.
