Tech - Change keyboard from Azerty => Qwerty ? (1 Viewer)

[Magnuss]

Is it possible to change to keyboard with a code ?

• French use AZERTY
• English use QWERTY
• German use QWERTZ
• ...

I mean for some macro, some user must change there keyboard settings or the macro will not work.
There is a way to create a code for auto switch it ? So we just have to add this code at the start of the macro and add another code for switch back to original keyboard when we stop the macro.


Edit : Can we chance the keyboard, WITH MQ2 ?

How to change the keyboard language shortcut in Windows 10

Do you need to know how to change the keyboard language Windows 10 shortcut? Maybe you want a more comfortable alternative, or perhaps the shortcut to change the keyboard language clashes with other hotkeys you’ve set up. Would it be easier to use one key instead of a keyboard shortcut to change...

Have your tried to search the forum?

Configure 2 languages in windows then you can use the default keys to switch between them

Well my laptop has a qwertz keyboard because I purchased from a german website without thinking about it. But it is set in windows as a qwerty, so the physical z key gives y when pressed as one might expect. I don't imagine there is a way in game to change this on the fly, it would have to be set in the operating system but I have no problems with any macros.

What macro is causing problems because I thought when you do a /keypress U or whatever it is drawing from the keybinds set in EQ?

The short answer is yes I'm sure it is easy to change a macro to use a different key, could be as easy as doing a find and replace in notepad to change 'keypress Y' to 'keypress Z' or whatever is switched and causing the problem.

I change to ENG keyboard when I start bazaar2 mac. Otherwise the ' becomes a square in the bazaar search window

Yeah, any keypress command hits the wrong key when your layout is different from QWERTY. There’s a bug for that here: https://gitlab.com/macroquest/next/mqnext/-/issues/138

There’s not a way to do it from MQ, though you could probably use exec to handle it. I wouldn’t, though. Just do as Robban says and change the layout.

If I were going to work on something for macros I’d rather just fix the bug than add a way to change the setting (which is just a workaround to not encounter the bug).

I do same as @MrPatate suggest. I have 2 languages defined in windows.
When starting bazaar2.mac at the piont where it goes on hold I just hit "<Alt> <Caps>" to swap language and than proceed with a hotkey "/mqp".
Works great since the macro got updated and is an easy workaround.

Bazaar(v3) and bazaar2 rely heavily on /keypress. I would love to find a better solution. A soon to be released update to bazaar will utilize the control click feature to search In trader mode. Buyer mode will still depend on /keypress.

The problem is that there is no way to Copy/Paste. In trader mode we have the control (maybe it’s shift, it late) so hat will hopefully help. In buyer mode there is no such option. So we read the item them then have to type it out on character at a time.

Why keypress does this is beyond my skill set, if i knew a way to detect it’s not a QWERTY keyboard I’d have it pause and ask to change it, in not about to get into executing command code, that can get real dangerous.

I know how to change language on Windows.
The question is : "Can we chance the keyboard, WITH MQ2 ?"
