KEYPAD for compatibility

[SF73]

Hi,
I would like to maximize the compatibility between different layouts and I noticed that sending
DigiKeyboard.sendKeyStroke(KEYPAD_X) seems to work whatever the layout.
Is there possible to handle strings in DigiKeyboard.println the same way (i.e DigiKeyboard.println("1234") typing1234 whatever the layout)?

Thanks !

As long as this characters are layout independent you will have success 😀

KEYPAD_X are probably layout independent but when I use DigiKeyboard.println("123") each char seems to be mapped not to KEYPAD but to numbers above the AZERTY/QWERTY part.
DigiKeyboard.println("123") basically outputs 123 or &é" depending on the layout but DigiKeyboard.sendKeyStroke(KEYPAD_1) always produces a 1. I would like to "patch" println to have the same property.

The layout must match the one in windows, so you have two keybords installed in windows and test with the window layout you use in the digikeyboard?

Yes exactly. The idea is that I would like to use the same digispark on different keyboard layouts.
To do so, I thought I could simply write letters by sending their alt+XXX code but this is quite slow as it requires multiple sendKeyPress for a single char.

void sendCode(int n) {
  unsigned int NUMKEY[] = {KEYPAD_0, KEYPAD_1, KEYPAD_2, KEYPAD_3, KEYPAD_4, KEYPAD_5, KEYPAD_6, KEYPAD_7, KEYPAD_8, KEYPAD_9};
  int ones = n % 10;
  int tens = (n / 10) % 10;
  int hund = (n / 100) % 10;
  DigiKeyboard.sendKeyPress(NUMKEY[hund], MOD_ALT_LEFT);
  DigiKeyboard.sendKeyPress(0, MOD_ALT_LEFT);
  DigiKeyboard.sendKeyPress(NUMKEY[tens], MOD_ALT_LEFT);
  DigiKeyboard.sendKeyPress(0, MOD_ALT_LEFT);
  DigiKeyboard.sendKeyPress(NUMKEY[ones], MOD_ALT_LEFT);
  DigiKeyboard.sendKeyPress(0, 0);
}

With this function, sendCode(97) would produce an a no matter the layout.

So as it is not ideal, I like to speed up this by first replacing 0-9 in println with their KEYPAD counterpart.
