Each key on any keyboard has a unique Direct Input Keyboard (DIK) code. They are not character symbols. They refer to the position of the key on the keyboard. In other words, depending on the keyboard layout, the actual key can change, but its position is always identical. This is useful to fulfill ergonomic needs.


In addition to that, using DIK codes has more advantages:

  • Recognize keys that can not be represented in character equivalents. Function keys for example have no character set code.
  • Using the defines below, makes using key codes easier in configs, since the actual code is replaced by a memorable string e.g., DIK_K instead of 0x25.
  • Unique DIK codes exist for numeric pad '9' versus standard key '9'. These are key-codes, not, characters.
Specific keys cannot be detected with DIK codes, since the position of the keys changes with the Keyboard layout (Qwerty, Dvorak).

Usage in scripts

DIK codes are always accompanied by the state of the SHIFT, ALT, and CTRL keys. Any script can differentiate between 'Q' and ALT-Q.

For parameters passed to key event handlers see onKeyDown EH.

Example Script

#include "\a3\ui_f\hpp\definedikcodes.inc" params ["_ctrl","_button","_BtnShift","_BtnCtrl","_BtnAlt"]; private _buttonDisabled = false; // true: block the original command, false: Execute the normal command of that button private _blockInput = { _ButtonDisabled = true; }; if (_button isEqualTo DIK_W) then // DIK_W = 17 = 0x11 = "W" { // For now, button W is just registered, but won't block the original command for now (player can move forward). // If SHIFT is pressed, block "W" (walk forward) and show the systemchat message if (_BtnShift) then { systemChat "Shift+W pressed"; call _blockInput; // call to disable the original command }; }; _buttonDisabled;
