Keymap help please

[thirstyoctopus]

Hi guys

This is just a quick one really. I have added a little hud to my game which I want hidden, but can only be activated by implementing a specific key combination. This is a beta testing feature.

I'd like the combination to be Alt+Shift then the backtick key (`)

However I do not know how to specify the ` key in Ren'py keymaps.

Here's what I have:

Code: Select all

screen hud_toggle:
    if renpy.get_screen("test_hud"):
        key "alt_shift_K_xxxx" action Hide("test_hud")
    else:
        key "alt_shift_K_xxxx" action Show("test_hud")

where the xxxx is whatever the backtick key is called. I did some searching and suggestions included grave, tilde, quoteleft and asciitilde but none of these work, they just throw an error saying:

Code: Select all

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'K_grave'

or whatever one I use.

Anyone know how to reference this key? It's the one on the top left of a Windows keyboard (with the broken pipe symbol alongside it)

I think you can find a list of all the “special” key codes in this file:

(At least, that’s what it looks like. Ren’py uses pygame under the hood, and that repo has PyTom’s partial port of pygame to sdl2 in it.
