On every version of pico-8, some keys and key combos don't work. The biggest problem is that enter doesn't work. The rest of the letter keys appeared to work.

This problem applied on both win8.1 and win10. My computer has an Intel Atom Z2760 @ 1.8GHz so it's a 32bit OS.

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Which keys don't work?

Enter and control as far as I can tell. Its hard to tell exactly because there aren't enough shortcuts to test every key.

Hi CKH4 -- could you please run this diagnostic program (for either version of Windows) and then send me the log.txt it generates? (hey at lexaloffle dot com)

keyboard_test_3.zip

Press a couple of letters, then hit Enter 3 times so it's clear what's happening in the log. Then ALT-F4 to quit. You should find the log.txt it generates in the same folder as the executable.

Thanks!

(or you could just post the bottom of log.txt here instead)

Here it is:

Here is the log from a computer that it does work on, it appears that the enter key can have two different mappings.

Great, thanks CKH4! The problem was that, in the first case, the scancode being reported is for the numberic keypad's enter. I will just check for both, and the change will be in 0.1.4.

Incidentally, does your keyboard layout have only the one enter key? Interesting that SDL could report the keypad one if so.

Yep it only has one enter key, I blame HP though it may be because its a convertible laptop/tablet. Good luck on the fix, cant wait until I am able to use my laptop.
