@ Georg - I don't think your idea is the way I'd like to see this change - to solve the problem, but thanks for suggesting it anyway.

It seems to me that it is either a change to the way the iMac Brightness setting is currently functioning or a change to PageStream that bypasses the iMac Brightness Setting of F1/F2 keys by using alternative Function keys.

For me, as I am so familiar with using PageStream, and that the iMac Brightness setting is so much more recent I would hope the key allocation in MorphOS could be modified to use a keyboard key modifier, like Control, Alt-Option or Command or use less likely to be used Function Keys like F11 and F12?

Well, then happy wait for months/years for next release which may or may not have the change/option you hope for ...

... instead of using a little hack/tool which (if it works) (and in the meantime) would do the same right now.

Having spoken to cyfm it seems the PageStream Function key mapping can be modified using the Script Palette so that a modifying "Special" key (such as Control, or several other key combination(s)) can be added so they do not clash-conflict with the iMac F1/F2 key(s) to set the Brightness level.

Hopefully this is an interim solution, as I would prefer to have the original PageStream single 'F' key as usual, rather than a 2 key pressed option, but it does at least free the clash-conflict for the time-being that occurred when I installed MorphOS v3.18.

Politely ignoring the trolling/rant about a probable delay for a solution due to our update schedules, I will just confirm that this ugly 68K SetFunction() patch won't work anyway as neither the brightness control, nor PageStream5 uses CreateCXObj to install the function key mapping.

Posting source with this gate/trap/whatever stuff (unless beautified by AROS macros)
would have looked even worse ;-)

So what about this, then (to have brightness, etc. with ALT + function keys):

Code:


#include <exec/interrupts.h>
#include <devices/input.h>
#include <devices/inputevent.h>
#include <proto/exec.h>
#include <proto/input.h>
#include <clib/alib_protos.h>

#define PRI1 121
#define PRI2 119

#define NAME1 "FKEYHACK1"
#define NAME2 "FKEYHACK2"

#define QUAL IEQUALIFIER_LALT

#define SHIFTALTCTRL (IEQUALIFIER_LALT | IEQUALIFIER_RALT | IEQUALIFIER_LSHIFT | IEQUALIFIER_RSHIFT | IEQUALIFIER_CONTROL)
#define IECLASS_HACK 0x7C

struct MsgPort *mp;
struct IOStdReq *io;
struct Interrupt i1, i2;

struct InputEvent *ihandler1(register struct InputEvent *ie asm("a0"))
{
    struct InputEvent *e = ie;
 
    while(e)
    {
    	if (e->ie_Class == IECLASS_RAWKEY)
	{
	    int code = e->ie_Code &~ IECODE_UP_PREFIX;
	    int quali = e->ie_Qualifier & SHIFTALTCTRL;

	    if (code >= 0x50 && code <= 0x59) /* F1 .. F10 */
	    {
	        if (!quali)
		{
		    e->ie_Class = IECLASS_HACK;
		}
		else if (quali == QUAL)
		{
		    e->ie_Qualifier &= ~QUAL;
		}
	    }

	}
    	e = e->ie_NextEvent;
    }
    
    return ie;
}

struct InputEvent *ihandler2(register struct InputEvent *ie asm("a0"))
{
    struct InputEvent *e = ie;
 
    while(e)
    {
    	if (e->ie_Class == IECLASS_HACK)
	{
	    e->ie_Class = IECLASS_RAWKEY;
	}
    	e = e->ie_NextEvent;
    }
    
    return ie;
}


void dohandler(int cmd, struct Interrupt *i)
{
    io->io_Command = cmd;
    io->io_Data = i;
    DoIO((struct IORequest *)io);
}

int main(void)
{
    mp = CreateMsgPort();
    io = CreateIORequest(mp, sizeof(*io));
    
    i1.is_Code = (void *)ihandler1;
    i1.is_Node.ln_Pri = PRI1;
    i1.is_Node.ln_Name = NAME1;
    
    i2.is_Code = (void *)ihandler2;
    i2.is_Node.ln_Pri = PRI2;
    i2.is_Node.ln_Name = NAME2;
    
    if (!OpenDevice("input.device", 0, (struct IORequest *)io, 0))
    {
    	struct InputEvent *ie;
	
        dohandler(IND_ADDHANDLER, &i1);
        dohandler(IND_ADDHANDLER, &i2);
        
      	Wait(SIGBREAKF_CTRL_C);

        dohandler(IND_REMHANDLER, &i2);
        dohandler(IND_REMHANDLER, &i1);
        	
    	CloseDevice((struct IORequest *)io);
    }

    DeleteIORequest(io);
    DeleteMsgPort(mp);        
}

That is almost as much code as my abandoned brightness screenbar module.... (works but has no way to save/load a value).
