Commands.json update

[lblum-steno]

Hi there,

When using the commands.json dictionnary I see mapping between, obviosly, steno chords and actions (in windows)
-> Where can I find the naming convention to acceess windows commands? For instance if I wish to add 'page down, page up' or 'shift-tab' commands?

Thanks a lot for your reply/help,

Lionel

Hi Ted,

Thanks a lot for your quick answer.
I checked the page but did not find an exhaustive list of the control keys (here is what I am looking for!)

Can you please 2x check?

Many thanks,

Lionel

Yeah, I don't see an exhaustive list, and now that the wiki page is a novel-length long anyway, I think we could afford to move all of the missing keys into the table.

Page_Up and Page_Down are the names for those keys, searching for them, I find a few places where you can see glimpses of the names.

The keys layout in plover.machine.keyboard can help with understanding the core key names, but not the number pad:

    Escape  F1 F2 F3 F4  F5 F6 F7 F8  F9 F10 F11 F12

      `  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  0  -  =  \\ BackSpace  Insert Home Page_Up
     Tab  q  w  e  r  t  y  u  i  o  p  [  ]               Delete End  Page_Down
           a  s  d  f  g  h  j  k  l  ;  '      Return
            z  x  c  v  b  n  m  ,  .  /                          Up
                     space                                   Left Down Right

Modifiers are: shift, control, alt/option, super/windows/command

Just to explicitly answer your initial question: {#page_up}, {#page_down}, and {#shift(tab)}

Thank you, I guess I could have deduct it but wanted to avoid guessing (since we are talking about a rather old technologie -> keyboard ;)).

I used the following chords which seems intuitive to me since they are avery similar to my Thinkpad Lenovo keyboard.

STPH-F for page up
STPH-L for page-down

Many thanks!

Lionel
