How to enter missing setkey characters?

[Paulverisor64]

I have recently started getting into the Silent Hunter III game.

I am wanting to enter all my keymappings on my N52te gamepad. This means that I need share keys in order to get all my commands on the gamepad.

I downloaded the Setkey program so I can use the CTRL button to increase the amount of mappable keys.

I've run into a problem with the directional keys. The keyboard diagram with Setkeys doesn't include the 4 different directional keys. I was able to get the up arrow by hitting the up arrow on my keyboard, but the down arrow does not want to take.

Does anyone know how to enter the down arrow with the setkey program?

You have to manually edit the "Commands_en.cfg" or the "Commands_de.cfg" config file to add the arrow keys. Below are some examples of the arrow-key in use. By the way, in the stock game, the arrow keys and the number-pad arrow keys sometimes have different functions and are already mapped to many various functions. Do a search on the .cfg file for 0x25, 0x26, 0x27, and 0x28 to see where they are used.
