X-Keys and special character mapping

I have an Xkeys USB (the 128 key version). With more keys than a standard keyboard I wanted to free up some of my complicated keypresses because I am tired of modifier keys sticking at just the wrong time. However, going through the help online I get... annoying results. If I put in ? for example, then open up chat ... the ? will show up ditifully when pressed. However, if I bind ? to, say, Action1 ... it will never activate that action. Any ideas? Anyone have a similar issue and able to work through this?

I was thinking about buying a foreign key keyboard and using that as an input source into the X-Keys ... but will that work or produce similar results?

Thanks!

I tried the same thing many months ago, I even manually edited the keybinding file to force the unicode keybind. Every attempt was a no go. For some reason wow will only accept those characters into the chat, it won't pass them as a keybind. Frustrating.

I can not say for 100% certainty, but I believe it is as simple as WoW will not recognize non-standard input passed into their code.
This is, unfortunately for multi-boxers and macro junkies, best practice when it comes to security. It's part of sanitizing input code.
I have tried many combination of non-standard characters and it simply would not take. Check out http://www.dual-boxing.com/wiki/inde...ld_of_Warcraft
for a complete list of what will work and the combination there in. Keep in mind some of the modifier combination will actually pass to WoW but they are defaulted in windows to functions that will intercept it before it gets to an application. If you disable the windows hotkeys you can use them. Or you can do what I will be doing when I get my DX1, Using the "deep key combos" of already bound keys, <ctrl><alt><shift> 1 through = for example.

Glad my list made it on here :)



Note that I did not have a foreign language keyboard at the time. I'm not talking "emulated" foreign key ... I mean an actual Russian/etc keyboard. Just wondering if it checks the localization first?
