I am trying to get the keys for <Left Right> as <> or ,.

I use scancode()=44 and Scancode()=46

But for some reason the keys end up being Z and C.

My keyboard is English(UK)

I have checked on the internet and 44, and 46 are supposed to work.

What am I doing wrong?

Scancodes are not the same as ascii codes, both of which are different from virtual key codes.

Make a program which displays the value of scancode() and use that to work out what numbers to use.

ASCII codes remain constant across languages and keyboards. Scancodes can differ between keyboards

I don't use that editor, I couldn't get it to work, everything was greyed out. So I use an older one.

Thanks! I had one years ago but I can't find it. It must have been so long ago that RGT was still a forum. Since then most of my games have used the mouse, and arrow keys.
