Bindkey debug with command console

I don't understand your question. What exactly are you trying to achieve? Please clarify with more detail...

Hi Juan,

I have the feeling that you are asking for something like "xev" but within Virtuoso, am I right?  There is something, I think, but I can't recall what it is called.  

Andrew does this ring any bells?

Cheers,

Lawrence.

If you have defined a bindkey, and go to Options->Log Filter in the CIW and turn on the "a" checkbox (Accelerated Input) you should see the bind key SKILL function echoed in the CIW for each key press. Does that do what you want, if you're simply trying to see if the bind key was recognised?

Regards,

Andrew.

Not quite, because I want to know what key is recognized by cadence.

For example: shift+7 can be recognized as "/" in some keyboards and as "&" in another depending on the keyboard language.

So as a debug feature, I think is useful to know which key was recognized.

The hiSetBindKey() form in Cadence 6.1.6 will show you the key as you define new bindkeys. If you press the "+" bindkey in the lower right you can define a new bindkey. Then click the key combo you want and you will see how Cadence recognizes it. This will show you if you need a "$" or a "shift-4".

My phone email client keeps swallowing random forum posts when there is more than one in a thread, so I missed Lawrence's reply and only noticed Derek's as I was about to reply with the same answer. This is available under Options->Bindkey in the CIW - pick the application, hit the plus button to add a bind key, and then in the key part click the key combination you want and it will show you the encoding

Andrew.

That will work.

Thanks all for your help.
