Starmade | TAB + any key doesn't work
Closed, RejectedPublic

Description

I discovered for a reason or an other TAB + G (keys combo to hide GUI) and TAB + F5 (or F6) (keys combo to force the reload of sector) didn't works on my different installations.

The game instead of process like TAB+G and TAB+F5(F6) process something like if I press separately TAB then G or TAB then F5 (F6) [so concretely TAB switch ship mode and then open ship status for the combo TAB+G and switch ship mode and take a screenshot for TAB+F5(F6)].

Don't know if it's link to the fact I rebinded TAB key to use it to switch ship mode or/and maybe cause I use French language package. I don't know all the other "hard-coded" combo to test them and see if they work or not.

-Feedback-

I tried both the french part and using Tab for other controls. Still worked fine for me.
Don't know how to reproduce so I'll leave this on feedback for a while, maybe someone else will have a clue.

I'll try to test that further this week-end and I'll keep you tune.

Side note, in the dev builds after the 0.199.217 release, the Tab debug button was moved to F1.
(so it's F1 + F8 and F1 + G now)

SM v0.199.353

F1 + G still doesn't work for me. It's just open the System's check menu like if I pressed G alone.

(here the updated version of my keyboard:

Remember the default binding for the "Dev" key is applied to the key that generates the "Player Board" . Since this update I put the Radial menu on F1, and the old tab-player board back to Tab and it made all my commands go from F1 being required to TAB being required.

This might not be anything to do with the game at all. (especially as your initial post indicates that none of the TAB/F1 + F# combos work.
That sounds like a hardware issue.

EX: not all keyboards have "full" support for registering more than one key being pressed at a time, because having full support is several pennies more expensive to manufacture. (yes, it really is that cheap of a difference)
Most keyboards only support CTRL+ALT+DELETE, ALT+TAB and SHIFT+any one key.
Oh, and W+A+S+D too, for the somewhat more modern ones, as WASD is "the" most common movement control for first, second, and third-person shooters.

You may be needing a new keyboard.

Nice theory, but I hardly doubt it that. First cause I my keyboard have 4-5 years old at max. But mostly like Napther mentionned it the binding seems to follow the "Player Board" button.

So, thanks to him, I have eventually found out that combo " = + key " works. = is my key for "see Player Board". It seems the combo binding follow the "Player Board" key allowed. It's not really guessable.

So this can now be closed I guess but taking a few notes to players or the options like

"Show Play Board (Key assigned also used in all admin shortcuts)". This should solve some issues, its only a suggestion, Lancake and Co would likely have their own fix
