Keybindings don't seem to work in Chromium

[ghost]

I am unable perform keyboard shortcuts (ie. alt+middle-click to pan) in the IDE, or navigate via the WASD keys in an FPS template project. I am using Chromium version 37.0.2030.0 (Developer Build 274814).

Which OS? Chromium on Mac seems to be fine.

I'm guessing this is Chrome OS. On that OS, ALT+LMB has a system level 'special meaning': it simulates a right mouse button click. This is a bug in Designer.

As for WASD not working in the FPS Starter Kit, I haven't been able to repro that. I'm on:

Version: 35.0.1916.116
Platform: 571.61.0 (Official Build) stable-channel peach_pi
Firmware Google_Peach_Pi.4482.94.0

This is a brand new Samsung Chromebook (ARM based model that has just been released).

Hey all,

Thanks for the reply. I'm running on Gentoo Linux. I'd be happy to provide
any other info you need.

Thanks :)

Okay, tried a couple more things and it appears that in the IDE the 'A' key works and most other keybindings work; but 'ALT' doesn't seem to for me. I'm guessing my window manager (OpenBox) is eating my 'ALT' strokes. I'll check out the FPS gameplay again to see if the WASD keys are being emitted. I'll also add event handlers for keyup and see what keycodes are being bubbled. I'll post the results back here.

18 is the ALT keycode that's being captured by document in the IDE.

[ghost]

87 = W
65 = A
83 = S
68 = D

Are the keycodes being captured by document in the IDE.

[ghost]

The aforementioned keycodes are also being captured by document in the FPS test as well.

Wroops, clicked the wrong button.

[willeastcott]

Yes, those are the standard key codes for those keys that should always be returned. See here: http://www.cambiaresearch.com/articles/15/javascript-char-codes-key-codes

@Maksims Can you test Designer on your Linux rig this evening? And create a project with the FPS starter kit and see if WASD works?

[Maksims]

@willeastcott just verified on Version 34.0.1847.116 Ubuntu 12.04 (260972), that keyboard input works as WASD in FPS example on playcanvas platform.
BUT, the example in engine folder which is accessible here: http://playcanvas.github.io/#camera/first_person/index.html
Does not do WASD in first place, as it is arrows there. So if arrows do work in that example (fps one), then we just need to add WASD as more common fly/fps movement controls. (doh, who did arrows? no one uses arrows nowadays :D )
As well verified that Russian layout keyboard does not affects keyboard input and it still works fine.

[willeastcott]

@Maksims And presumably ALT+LMB in Designer to orbit works OK?

@guywithcrookedface Can you confirm:
'WASD not working' is in the FPS Starter Kit in PlayCanvas Designer, correct? Not this engine demo:
http://playcanvas.github.io/#camera/first_person/index.html
?

[willeastcott]

@guywithcrookedface Also, can you confirm this behaviour is the same in Firefox on your Gentoo machine?

[ghost]

Sure thing,

I'll download nightly and see if it works; thanks for the quick reply on
this guys =D

Hrm,

Tried with nightly Firefox and I'm still not seeing movement with the WASD
keys, or the arrow keys in an FPS project. I'll try the IDE and see what
happens there.

Ah. I see the problem. Can you go to the project settings and check the box that says 'Enable 3D Physics'? This is a result of a bug we had a couple of days ago where forking a project would not copy the project settings. This is now fixed but any projects that were forked when the bug was in existence will be affected.

The IDE keybindings seem to work fine. Except ALT+* keybindings, which
might be due to my window manager. When I try left alt and middle click my
window manager grabs them first so they never make it to the browser;
that's something I can work with though.

If there's anything else I can do to help here lemme know :)

That was my bug! :D
Now it is fixed indeed. There might be small number of people made projects during period of bugs wildness, which will result of physics library not being included into list of scripts of a pack.
But hopefully all fine now.
