Hotkey for boom bots

Co-op Missions Discussion

Hi,

I have a laptop with no numpad. I would like to know if there is a way to change the hotkey to enter Boom bot code with normal numbers? I looked into the option and I only saw numpad numbers used in inventory, so I changed it, but that goes only up to 8, and I don’t think Boom Bots is classed as inventory item, but I couldn’t find any reference to numpad anywhere else.

Does someone knows how to change it?

I used the solution 5 from this list, helped me.

When i press Caps my normal numbers become numpad numbers, gotta press Caps again if u want to come back… can mess u up if ur using control groups.

Thanks a lot! I installed the program, but instead of using normal numbers, I have some useless key to the right, 9 keys in a numpad format. I set 7 of those to numpad numbers (Sadly, there are 2 keys I can’t figure their name (they open HP Command Center, and Calculator, 2 keys I never use). I set the 3 others numpad numbers to keys around.

And since “Pause” was one of those key in the numpad layout, I changed pause hotkey to an other key in the SC2 hotkey menu!

It should help a lot :smiley: !

Thanks a lot, LazyTurtle!! :smiley:

If anyone has a HP Omen and knows the key name of the Omen key and Calculator key, please tell me, I would have a 100% functionnal numpad set!

Most likely you have an hpkeyboard.exe or similar thing in your Startup Items and running in Task Manager. If you end that task that should stop HP from intercepting the numpad keys.

I believe some Radeon software does something similar.

Couldnt find it. It’s a laptop, so keyboard is part of the computer. I looked everywhere but couldn’t find anything about the physical keyboard except switch is langage :confused: .

There are no numpad on the keyboard. I created one with the link of LazyTurtle. But there are 2 key that would be useful for numpad but are assigned to open 2 programs, wich is useless since I can just open those like any other programs, but I can’t find the name of those keys :/.
