What other keyboard keys can be detected by events?

Hey,

Just wondering if its possible to detect keys other than the arrow keys being pressed/released in GUI.

The only keys I have found that war3 can detect are:

- bj_KEYEVENTTYPE_RELEASE
- bj_KEYEVENTTYPE_DEPRESS
- bj_KEYEVENTKEY_UP
- bj_KEYEVENTKEY_DOWN
- bj_KEYEVENTKEY_LEFT
- bj_KEYEVENTKEY_RIGHT

I don't think it's possible anyway. You can manipulate hotkeys only with:

native ForceUIKey                   takes string key returns nothing

What forces player to press given hotkey.

native GetLocalizedHotkey takes string source returns integer

What enables you to get hotkey from given source.

Hotkeys of command field orders, escape key with skip cinematic event, maybe space through camera quick position points, 0-9 select groups if defined, 1,2,4,5,7,8 on num pad trigger active items in inventory. Paste/Delete rotate camera, enter when sending chat messages. F1-F5 select own heroes.

You could detect those with abilities, if you're willing to make some sacrifices.

If you can ensure the player has a certain unit selected at all times, you can give that unit hidden abilities that respond to the "A" to "Z" hotkeys.

It doesn't work flawless though.

That would work for certain things, thx.
