Add Key "<" to a mod

[Serpens]

Hi

I use a mod which uses the Shift key "GLOBAL.KEY_SHIFT", but I would like to change it to the "<" sign, which is right next to Left Shift at my keyboard. (because Left Shift is already used from the normal game)

What is the KEY_ name of this key?

I also tried to change in the normal game options the "Force Container (mod)", from Left Shift to "<" , but then there appears "Unknown" as a key, which does not work ingame =/ So is the game even able to use the "<" key?

 

I also found a bug from the game I think, I'm not able to change the key from "Change Box (Half)" in the game options. If I try no keyboard key is accepted and I have to restart the game.

Where can I report this bug?

constants.lua doesn't define it, pick any name you want. The keycode should be 60.

thank you
unfortunately it does not work to add this keycode 60 to the mod itself.., the button does not work =/

I tried it with the "Sort Tool" mod and added the line into the modinfo:

keyslist[#alpha + #Fkey + 3] = {description = "<",data = 60}

(because previous two lines looked like this, so I think this should work:

Quote

keyslist[#alpha + #Fkey + 1] = {description = "[",data = 91}
keyslist[#alpha + #Fkey + 2] = {description = "]",data = 93}

When I press "<", the game says that the key is 0. Try data = 0.

local function hello()
	print("hi")
end

TheInput:AddKeyDownHandler(0, hello)

prints "hi" so, if it werks, it werks.
