Re: Can't use Virtual Keyboard with Wiimote

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
Ah, thank you very much for your timely response, Felix!

Okay, well after your explanation, I reset all of the mappings to their default. It worked precisely as you have described it and as I would expect it to. So hooray for that!

I do believe however, there is a bug with how the virtual keyboard interprets key presses if you have changed the global mapping of the Wii remote buttons. You see, I prefer to always use the A button as left click, and under both circumstances listed below, I cannot achieve the desired effect (to use the A button as left click).

Here is what I did:

- In the Virtual Keyboard behaviour button mapping: cleared the Button Mapping for the A button

- In the Global Mapping for the Wiimote to use the "A / Play/Pause" as a Left Click.

When I do this, and pull up the Virtual Keyboard, even when I'm pointing at a key, and press the A button, it still activates the highlighted key (which seems to be "P" by default).

I also tried the following (after reverting to default mappings):

- In the Global Mapping for the Wiimote: cleared all button mappings except for B (Open Remote Buddy menu) and Home (IR mouse mode on/off)

- In the Virtual Keyboard behaviour button mapping: changed the Button Mapping for the A button to "Left Click".

And then it still functions the same way.

In fact, no matter what I change the Button Mapping to in the Virtual Keyboard behaviour, it will ignore what I set the keys to, and behave like the default mappings. Even after restarting the app.

So I hope that helps: the app works fine with the defaults, which I find uncomfortable, and if I try to change the Virtual Keyboard behaviour mappings in several different ways, Remote Buddy always uses the default button mappings, even after I've changed them.

Thanks again! Hope I've been clear enough.
