s8wc3 — 2019-02-12 02:10:05In voice progs i like to use the ` key for ptt as it's easy to reach and nothing else uses it, but it doesn't work in ripcord for some reason. | ||||
cancel — 2019-02-13 21:47:21Some of the virtual key codes don't seem to work properly for RegisterHotKey in the Windows API. I'll take a look at it and see if there's a way to work around it. The only way to make global hotkeys 100% reliable in Windows is to use Raw Input, but this allows Ripcord to function as a keylogger (and other serious consequences) so I'm hesitant to switch to that instead of RegisterHotKey. | ||||

rememberthelolamo — 2021-12-21 20:39:27 I would like to add that Caps Lock, Ctrl, Alt etc are also unavailable as PTT keys. The only thing stopping me from loving this (alternative VOIP) client right now is that it seems completely unable to use basically any conventional PTT hotkey. For that reason I'd suggest increasing ticket severity to Important or even Critical. To add insult to injury, even if I do choose to use some letter as my PTT key, Ripcord seems to eat that input. In other words, if I choose A as my hotkey, I my hve to del with very inconvenient consequences, if you know wht I men. Though this seems to only be an issue while actively connected to voice chat. As far as allowing Ripcord to function as a keylogger... AutoHotkey can function as a keylogger too, but I still use that every day. | ||||
