how can i deactivate this?=
if i press P while writing into an editor the main menu opens...
this is really bad for my intentions.
i searched through the scripts but couldnt find which part of them triggers this behavior.

thx a lot in advance once again 

greetings

what's in your on "Keypress" event of your game.script file?

I'm getting the same as this - press 'p' in an editor and it brings up the main menu

Keypress event of game.script is looking for ESC or FI so that's not it:

Code: [Select]

on "Keypress"
{
global AllowEscape;
if(AllowEscape == null)
  {
  AllowEscape = true;
  }
  // on Esc or F1 key
if(AllowEscape == true && (Keyboard.KeyCode==VK_ESCAPE || Keyboard.KeyCode==VK_F1))
  {
  // load and display the main menu window
  WinCaption.Visible = false;
  var WinMainMenu = Game.LoadWindow("interface\system\mainmenu.window");
  WinMainMenu.Center();
  WinMainMenu.GoSystemExclusive();
  Game.UnloadObject(WinMainMenu);
  }
}
and keys.inc doesn't even refer to 'p'

Code: [Select]

var VK_F1         = 112;
var VK_ESCAPE     = 27;

I know some games use 'p' for pause - could it be built into the engine? How do I bypass it? If I have to manually trap 'p' and redirect it, where do I do that?

Cheers

I've already answered this elsewhere, but you should add this to your F1 condition && !Keyboard.Printable

Hi Metamorphium

Can you point me at your answer? When I put my circumstances into the search, that was the only one that came up.

I think it's something to do with 'p' and 'F1' both reponding to scancode 112, is that it?

Cheers

That's the post metamorphium posted about. Basically you are right, it seems that at some computers p & F1 both respond to the same keycode. But using the Keyboard.Printable attribute will solve it since one (p) will return true and the other (F1) will return false.

Thanks all!
