Using keyboard function keys...

I am using a HD810 with a USB numeric keypad. I am working with Bright Author to create keyboard input events. It works fine for keys that you can enter in that field in brigh author (ABCDE 12345 etc etc). How can you trigger an event using a key such as 'enter' or 'backspace' or 'home' 1 Can this be done from Bright author, or do I need to get into scritpting? Thanks.

    It can be done via scripting.

    A customization to the brightauthor script could also allow it, but we would need to create predefined strings to equal these other button presses. IT might be easiest to do it with a script.

    Thanks Lyndon.

    Can you suggest what line I should add to the normal BS script so that the 'Backspace' key (8) always performs the same function. I want the player to return to a menu screen (with a fixed file name) whenever 'backspace' is pressed.

    You can setup that functionality using one of the currently working keys. For example, the space bar.

    WHen do you need this?

    We we'll need to add a change to the processing of keyboard inputs at startup so that when the spacebar value is stored, it substitutes the backspace value.

    I need to track down where.
