unknown key

[noah]

Hi, this is probably a lame question but I can't use loads of keys.
Like for example this one: _
Any solutions?

What keyboard layout do you have, what operating system and what version of arma? On my keyboards (US/UK/GER), _ needs SHIFT to be pressed, so it doesn't count as a key per se. Also, do you mean for binding to game input actions or in chat?

I have an 'azerty' keyboard, use Vista and I'm not certain about my version of arma.
I can't use the keys in chat, and when I try to bind them it says: unknown key.
A few other keys I can't use are: -,^,$,/ and stuff like that.
With some i have to use shift, with other I dont so that won't be the problem.

In that case, it's best if you send a Debug Recording. Instructions how to create one and post it here are at the bottom of the page.

Also, be sure to run at least a non-ancient version of Armagetronad. It displays the right on the top level menu. If it starts with 0.2.8.3, it should be good. 0.3.0 is bad, anything after 0.3.0... well, depends.

Ok, thx. Ill give that a try.

Oh, and make sure that in the recording, you press those keys in chat. Make the rest of the action simple: jump right into a local game, no bots if possible, just chat. Or try to add those characters to your name.
