Streamdeck and ALT GR

[bond Villain]

Hi All,

 

I'm hoping someone can help me. When assigning key commands in DCS, it sees left and right Alt as separate key buttons.

 

Using stream deck, I can program left and right Shift, Ctrl, just not Alt. The left Alt works fine, the right Alt  (Alt GR) has issues,  when I us it in the streamdeck software to assign a hotkey, when I press the ALT GR (Right Alt) it registers the keystroke as L-Ctrl+R-Alt 

 

Has anyone had this problem and a good way to sort it.

 

Thanks BV

If I remember correctly change your keyboard to US (you most lightly have UK) and this should sort the issue, when finished switch back.

I use US keyboard and language. The issue is still there for me.

I’m back at my computer later in the week and will see how I overcame the issue

I went by the Bar Raiders discord (it's not what you initially think! BarRaider is a Stream Deck app creator) and asked a similar question. They replied with Super Macro: 
https://github.com/BarRaider/streamdeck-supermacro/releases/tag/v2.1
 

It works well. In "Short Press" put 

{{RALT}{a}}

Change the "L" to "R" if you want the other one. You can also do something like:
 

{{RALT}{RSHIFT}{a}}

if you wanted to. It is working for me in DCS. Oddly enough I sometimes have to keybind it "by hand" in the DCS Options Controls menu, but it works fine in-game.

Here is the keyboard list for the modifier keys: https://github.com/BarRaider/streamdeck-supermacro/wiki/Keyboard-Commands

 

Oh, and change {{a}} to whatever letter you want. I'll need to dig into Super Macro more bc it looks a lot more useful than I initially thought. Thanks!
