View source for Virtual Keys

The keyboard based functions accept virtual keys. For example, to press the space bar, you would simply: [[Keyboard_Control#keyboardPress|keyboardPress]]( key.VK_SPACE );

All virtual keys, for MicroMacro, will begin with key.VK_

Check lib/mods/keyboard/<local>.lua for a list of all virtual keys (where <local> defines your location, ie. en_us for English US). You may edit this file to better reflect your keyboard layout.

== Keyboard Modules ==
As previously noted, keyboard modules are Lua files located in micromacro/lib/mods/keyboard/. The file names will start with the two letter abbreviation of the language (ie. 'en' for English), and be followed by an underscore and the region if necessary (ie. '_us' for United States). The file names will be all lower-case.


'''Examples'''
{|
|- style="padding: 8px;" |
| style="width: 120px;" | en_us.lua
| English, United States
|-
| en_uk.lua
| English, United Kingdom
|-
| es.lua
| Spanish
|-
| de.lua
| German
|}


== How to set your keyboard layout ==
Open micromacro/config.lua in notepad. You will see this line:
<source lang="lua">
  keyboard = "en_us"
</source>

Change en_us to one of the available keyboard layout modules.
