As part of the Bazecor functions, you can select which layout you want to display in the application. However, in some cases, the keypresses do not match what happens on the screen.
Why so? Most likely, the layout in Bazecor does not match the one you set in your operative system. Keyboards send numeric codes to the computer; to translate those codes, the Operative system deciphers them using the language we put on it. If the language set in Bazecor differs from in the OS, the characters will be matched.
Check out this video with a thorough explanation:
If you’re aware of the problem and you want to try some solutions to input characters that are not in your language, you can always use Unicode. You can program them using the different keys of the Dygma models via Bazecor. To do so, press on this icon in the layout configurator:
It will open this window where you’ll be able to input the code for the character you want to input:
That window also contains a link to the instructions, but that’s not the only option. There are other methods to accomplish this result. Let’s take a look at some options.
For example, we’ll see how to type French-accented keys on a US keyboard.
Method 1:
or French accent marks by just using your number pad:
- Alt+0233 (é)
- Alt+0224 (à)
- Alt+0232 (è)
- Alt+0249 (ù)
- Alt+0226 (â)
- Alt+0234 (ê)
- Alt+0238 (î)
- Alt+0244 (ô)
- Alt+0251 (û)
- Alt+0235 (ë)
- Alt+0239 (ï)
- Alt+0252 (ü)
- Alt+0231 (ç)
You can find all the ALT codes for other languages here: https://www.alt-codes.net/
To type these characters, hold Alt while you type all four numbers in your numpad keys (usually on another layer of your Raise).
This would require you to press five keys and change the layer to access the Numpad numbers. But Bazecor has macros, so you can configure a key to type all five keys automatically:
Create a macro that holds ALT, presses the four numbers on the Numpad numbers, and then releases ALT.
Method 2:
Switching the input language to French, typing the accented layer, and then switching back to US English.
To do this, you need to install both French and US-English keyboard input languages.
- Click the Start Start button, type intl. Cpl in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
- Click on Language Preferences.
- Under "Preferred Languages," check that you have both French and US English. If not, add them by clicking on "Add a Language."
Again, you can create a macro that does this after just one keypress. It would first press Win+Space to change the language to French, then type the accented letter with the same keystrokes that a French keyboard would require to get that accented letter, and then press Win+Space again to switch back to US English.
