There is a minor problem with a German keyboard layout (qwertz layout). The Z key is not below A, it is where the Y is on an international keyboard (y/z reversed regarding an international keyboard). So it looks like this:

Code: Select all

Q  W  E  R T Z
A  S  D
Y  X  C

In this sense, the handling is not quite as elegant as thought, but nevertheless keyboard control is great.

Interesting fact: In Commander2 everthing is okay, so I can use Y on the German keyboard to set channel A to zero.

Maybe it would be possible to restore the behavior of Commander2 ?

Really appreciate the thought that went into this.

Hi Si,

viewtopic.php?f=17&t=9695#p14120

I would like to ask nicely again if there is anything you can fix regarding the German keyboard problem with "Q A Y"

[admin]

I will have a look at some point, the issue seems to be we now have to look at the key pressed rather than the older version where we looked at the physical key.

Thanks, that explains it.

Maybe it's possible to make a preference setting to switch the keyboard language.

I like the overall simplicity of the GUI, but I'm having a lot of trouble adjusting the values with either the mouse scroll wheel on a selected slider or with the keyboard shortcuts. I'm pretty glad I did a dry run first, because the value jumps around a lot - also up, by sometimes as much as 10%. This goes for all four sliders. If I adjust them slowly enough there's no problem but if I try to for example ramp up channel C to full with the hotkeys it keeps jumping back to the original value or at least a previous value. I'm guessing this is an artifact due to the serial interface? I think the status is polled very often and the interface immediately reverts back to whatever value the 2B is at. Maybe it's possible to introduce a slight delay in setting the sliders once the gui detects user interaction so the gui value gets set properly on the 2B first.

Tbh, as it is now, I'm a little anxious to use the commander, I'm afraid it'll jump around too much and I'll hurt myself.

Commander 3 is not setup to use the mouse scroll wheel. It's more designed for mouse clicks and hold and move.

The keyboard system works well when we play.
