gmoccapy virtual button mapping (solved)

Hi, I have gmoccapy on my cnc mill, and I've added a row of physical hardware buttons below the screen because my touchscreen is getting inconsistent with age, but these are not wired into inputs on a card, instead being connected to a keyboard processor (I'm out of hardware inputs to use).
So for leftmost hardware button returns a "a", next "b" etc (In fact I can reprogram the key returned for each button)
How can I tell gmoccapy that a keypress of the "a" key on my keyboard represents a keypress of the gmoccapy.h-button-0?

You will need to use hal_input for that purpose, for a KeyWarrior the part would look like this: Does this help?

Thanks Norbert for the speedy response,
it makes sense reading it but I'll try it on the machine tomorrow.

it works perfectly once I had worked out it needed to be in custom_postgui.hal because those pins don't exist until the gui is operation. Obvious now I type it

I've connected the physical knee/quill jogging joysticks to key inputs on the 3TR keyboard and mapped the keys in the same way and everything is working again perfectly thanks.

please mark the Tread as solved
and get gmoccapy in the name
