How do I simulate number presses? I only see an option for keypad numbers and not top row numbers.

[pleasehelp]

Just needed assistance on how to simulate the top row numbers and not keypad ones. Reason for this is because I'm doing a lot of math work that needs exponents a lot and I want to bind the shortcut for exponents to my mouse button 5. The exponent button is 6 on the top row, so the keypad numbers aren't needed in my situation.

Do you mean just send the number 6? or ^?
Simply type 6 in to the simkey sequence - if you wanted to send the number pad keys you have to do special things {NUM6} but the normal number keys, 6 on its own should do it!

And if you want to send ^ (shift + 6) you would do {shift}6

Wow, this whole time I thought I had to put the 6 in brackets too. You just made my work so much easier. Thank you so much. Happy holidays!

Glad that worked for you

Hello.
How about tilde key „~”? There is no option to automatically set it for any of the mouse buttons and if I type it {~} it does not work. Any tips, pleeeease?

Firstly, you have broken the forum rules by using someone else's thread - please in the future read and follow the posting rules!

The tilde ~~~~ key on my keyboard is SHIFT+#
I don't know about your keyboard but in my case, {shift}# works. XMBC sends keys using keyboard codes and thus if you have to press shift on your keyboard to produce a key, you will also have to simulate shift before sending the key code.

Hello Phil, sorry for using this thread i didn’t want to make spam with (in my opinion) related topic.
I will check shift as you suggested and see if it solves the problem.

Thanks!
