Ascii Codes

[tmyers]

Does anyone have a link to a comprehensive list of Ascii codes that Access uses? The only one I know is 13 for the enter key. I am trying to tie buttons to the function keys.

I found https://doc.4d.com/4Dv16/4D/16.6/Function-Key-Codes.300-4444766.en.html
Could someone confirm this is correct?

I have Ascii Table - ASCII character codes and html, octal, hex and decimal chart conversion
bookmarked.

(Though I really can't say why, it's an ugly non searchable page!)

That does not appear to have the F1-F12 keys

F1 through F12 are not really ASCII.

I see. Makes sense as to why I was struggling to find them then.
I am just doing to QoL stuff on some forms, and am trying to tie function keys to various buttons on my header for ease of use.

A very worthwhile endeavor

That's is really useful, Mike. Needs to be a sticky somewhere!

If you have people who do heads down data entry, then having function keys can be useful. If people type and use the mouse, they don't add much. Personally the only function keys I use are cntl-c, cntl-v, cntl-d which are somewhat universal in Office. I found when moving from the mainframe to the PC that some of the function keys I used most frequently were positively dangerous when used in an Office app. Think long and hard before embarking on this path.

I have created macros in Word because I write about bridge hands (a game) frequently and I like to use the suit symbols. Rather than having to open up the windings dialog, pick the code and insert it and then colorize it - hearts and diamonds are red, was a pain so I made 4 functions.

Agreed...I printed it out just in case I need it sometime...one more tool for the toolbox.

Here is a new version of the keyboard keycodes that I recreated as a vector drawing. This way the printed image will look cleaner and I even lighted up the Num Lock for good measure. Enjoy!
