Hallo Hermann,

shift + ö and shift + dot both return 58, anyhow if I give the output tot he 
message box or a field. I can't see a script error. For me it's an engine error.

Same with "-" and "ß", both return 45.
I don't see a chance on how I could differentiate between "-" and "ß", when 
getting 45.

Perhaps I didn't understood, what you meant to workaround this issue.

Tiemo

Betreff: Re: AW: Is there a mapping table for all rawKeyUp Codes? No solution 
yet with LC 8

The '58-example' is obviously a script error:
the message box has always display bugs, you may better use a field for the 
display.

If I understand right, then you want now the keyCode (an event, depending on 
_hardware_) and NOT the characterCode (a number representation of the char).
Some Mac apps show, with an abuse of the name, the characterCode and not the 
hardware keycode.

On a german keyboard from Apple the keycodes are on MacOS 10.12.1/LC 9.0.0-dp2 
(65505=shift)

ö = 59
Ö = 59,65505
. = 46
: = 46,65505

This is not contradicting your results if your hardware is different.

You could think about using ___the keysdown___, for example this works for me, 
using a locked field 1 and the following card script (just to see the 
difference):

on idle ; put the keysDown into fld 1 ; end idle

p.s. For the LC table (Mark's link) you could use:
     put baseConvert(hexValue,16,10) into decValue
