UWP game on XBox receives mysterious InputKey events

[nunodonato]

Operating system or device - Godot version: UWP(XBox), Godot 2.2

Issue description:
Although I'm just using the xbox controller, my code is printing InputKey events everytime I press any button or move the sticks in the controller.
The scancode is: 33554431, which seems to be a very strange code :)

Yeah, the Gamepad emit input key events, I don't know if there's anyway around it.

I can force ignore that specific scancode.. but doesnt sound like a very elegant solution

It's a specific scancode? Maybe it's a special "xbox key"?

@punto- yeah, I always get scancode 33554431 no matter which button I press.

That's KEY_UNKNOWN:

KEY_UNKNOWN = 33554431

Maybe some other VK constant to convert to the relevant Godot scancode? https://github.com/godotengine/godot/blob/master/platform/windows/key_mapping_win.cpp

@nunodonato Maybe add a print statement to get the p_code value in https://github.com/godotengine/godot/blob/master/platform/windows/key_mapping_win.cpp#L240 ?

[nunodonato]

@akien-mga will do. I need the devkit for this, so it will take a while :/

There are specific VirtualKey codes for gamepad buttons. Check https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.system.virtualkey. The page don't show the numbers but the range is 0xC3-0xDA.

I don't really know how to deal with them. Should they just get ignored or should we add Gamepad keycodes to Godot?
