Today, I was putting together a layout keystroke trigger script, and wanted to capture and take action on specific navigation keystrokes (PageUp, PageDown, etc.). I can of course determine what keystrokes are which code using FileMaker functions. But sometimes it is useful to just SEE a list of codes.
So, after getting the navigation keys I cared about, I also ran a little While loop to generate a list of other codes and their keyboard equivalent. That is included below, with a special section at the top for navigation-type keys.
I know there are custom functions out there, but sometimes it's nice to just have a list to look at when you don't need/want to add a dependency.
Here's the list:
