I am rewriting the keyboard.inp to include all possible commands and commenting out the ones that are not currently used.

There are almost 400 possible key commands available in SDOE. This does not include the use of mouse and joystick buttons/axis.

There are 96 available keys. When combined with "Shift" or "Alt" or "Ctrl" gives you 384 possible key combinations. You can use almost every key on the keyboard including the "Tab", "CapsLock", "AppMenu", "Left and Right Window keys", even the "Scroll Lock", and "Print Screen/SysRq". But not the "Pause/Break" key.

Now the Cool Stuff
==============================================
You can use the "Shift", "Alt" and "Ctrl" with your Mouse and Joystick buttons/axis. Sometimes I like to use the Mouse to look around, but sometimes when I am not using it I will bump it and it moves the view when I don't want too. I added/edited the following lines to my keyboard.inp.

inpViewPanXAnalog = Shift MouseAxisX
inpViewPanYAnalog = Shift MouseAxisY

Now the mouse only pans if I hold down the "Shift" key. I tried this with other Joystick and mouse buttons and it all seems to work.

I hope to have the new keyboard.inp available soon, I am not changing the assignments that Ronin has in the "Keyboard Documents", just adding the other available keys.

Wow! Raider thats great! I hadn't tried using Keyboard.inp in conjunction with the mouse/stick!

It really is about time to update the Keyboard command card anyway. Send me any new definitions and I'll include them in an update!
