Hi all,

when I am testing my Audio Plugin as Standalone the Numpad Keys ( 1 to 6 ) are working as expected.

I implemented them as:

```auto
        if (key.getKeyCode() == KeyPress::numberPad1) mPadA.press(velocity);

        if (key.getKeyCode() == KeyPress::numberPad2) mPadB.press(velocity);

        if (key.getKeyCode() == KeyPress::numberPad3) mPadC.press(velocity);

        if (key.getKeyCode() == KeyPress::numberPad4) mPadD.press(velocity);

        if (key.getKeyCode() == KeyPress::numberPad5) mPadE.press(velocity);

        if (key.getKeyCode() == KeyPress::numberPad6) mPadF.press(velocity);

```

I also used:

```auto
        if (key.getKeyCode() == 65633) mPadA.press(velocity);

        if (key.getKeyCode() == 65634) mPadB.press(velocity);

        if (key.getKeyCode() == 65635) mPadC.press(velocity);

        if (key.getKeyCode() == 65636) mPadD.press(velocity);

        if (key.getKeyCode() == 65637) mPadE.press(velocity);

        if (key.getKeyCode() == 65638) mPadF.press(velocity);

```

Which worked also well in the Standalone Version. I used `DBG(key.getKeyCode());` to read the Keycodes. But in the VST3 Plugin in Bitwig for Example the Numpad Keys seems to use the same Keycodes as the Numbers above the Letters Block on the Keyboard. I have no idea why the Standalone and the VST3 behave differently.

Thanks a lot!

Cheers  
Dirk

Which OS are you testing this on? I know that Windows passes the char down for `1` the same as `numpad 1` (I ran into something similar recently).

No, unfortunately. I hadn’t had time to drill down into it to see where/how things could have gone wrong (or if it’s just how it has to be!). I’m pretty much just tinkering on occasional side projects when using JUCE these days, so won’t have much time to debug.
