I'm trying to detect arrow keys like this:

  
Bool SceneHook::KeyboardInput(BaseSceneHook *node, BaseDocument *doc, BaseDraw *bd, EditorWindow *win, const BaseContainer &msg;)   
{   
     LONG key = msg.GetData(BFM_INPUT_CHANNEL).GetLong();   
     GePrint("key: " + LongToString(key));   
     return FALSE;   
}

An arrow key ID is only returned when it is used with Control, Option/Alt or Command.

Is it possible to use a SceneHook to detect arrow keys without qualifiers? Also, is it possible to detect Shift + arrow key combinations?

Haven't tried it, yet, but for combinations of qualifiers it looks as if BFM_INPUT_QUALIFIER delivers a mask, containing the bits of all simultaneously pressed qualifiers.

Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm getting the qualifiers, the problem is that no arrow key IDs are returned when they're used on their own or with the Shift key.

Can support please tell me whether this is possible before I pursue my own platform-specific implementations?

The problem is that the arrow and shift-arrow keys are already taken for viewport nudging, most likely by another scene hook. I don't think this is possible to override.

cheers,
