Problems using the numeric keypad

Short version:
Key maps are working normally, however some key on the numeric keypad can't be used/aren't working.

Long version :)
I am having problems mapping some keys.

Some background info: I use the mouse in my left hand and have everything keybound to the Numeric Keypad, 0-9, /*-+ and .(decimal dot). So Lightning Bolt would be i.e. NumPad-3 and Chain-Heal NumPad-0.

I am able to put most of the keys into the keymap, however the keys '/', '*' and '*' are not working properly. In order to test this, I've deleted all keymap configurations, started the wizard and created a new team. Then I have done the following:

    1. For DPS 0, I changed the Key Combo to Num-0
    2. In WoW, pressed '0'. My chain-heal gets executed
    3. In ISBoxer, I change the HotKey for DPS 0 to Num-0
    4. In WoW, pressed 'Num-0'. My chain-heal gets executed
    5. Now I try and change the HotKey for DPS 0 to Num--(minus). There is a keyboard command for this present in the drop-down menu.
    6. In WoW, pressed Num--. My chain-heal gets executed
    7. Now I try and change the HotKey for DPS 0 to Num-/(slash). There is no keyboard command for this present in the drop-down menu, but it puts in a strange shortcut. (" <ZEHNERTASTATUR>", am on a swiss-german system)
    8. In WoW, pressed Num-/. Nothing happens
    9. In WoW, pressed Num-*. My chain-heal gets executed.

Ofc exported to Inner Space when changing the KeyMaps.

As far as I can tell there are only HotKeys for 0-9, *(star), -(minus) and .(decimal point). The HotKEy for /(dash) is mapped to *(star). The HotKey for +(plus) doesn't exist.

I'm not sure if the problem is my region or keyboard-region, but don't suspect it is. Could somebody confirm that all 17-key on the numeric keypad are all mappable?

Here is a link to my config: http://pastebin.com/ah60mWL1

Re: Problems using the numeric keypad

Looking into this now, it has to do with your German keyboard layout. The + key was a bug in my code.

Super fun factoid of the day, the German keyboard layout has the exact same name (" (ZEHNERTASTATUR)") for 2 different keys. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms892159.aspx

That means I get to code a workaround for those 2 keys. I'll post a new ISBoxer build to fix this for you soon

Re: Problems using the numeric keypad

It is actually a Swiss-German layout, which is different from the normal german layout. Not sure if this is relevant.

Really looking forward to getting started, so many thanks for the quick response! :)

Re: Problems using the numeric keypad

Wow, that was very fast! :)

I've installed and tested the update for several scenarios and everything is working perfectly now.

Many, many thanks!
