Hi guys!

I'm curious if it's only me with the problem.

I pretty often type the values in Fusion using numeric keyboard.
But on the numeric keyboard you can find coma.

If I use coma, values get screwed up. I have to move my hand to "dot" on the standard keyboard. Then it works.

Do you have the same problem?
Is there any way to solve it? Typing values using only numeric keyboard would be way easier (and free of mistakes...)

Cheers!

This depends on the language settings of your OS.
If you use for example a European setting, there is a good chance that you write numbers like this

1.000,55 - where the decimal point is actually a comma. You can change this in your OS and Fusion will honor this assignment.

nah
We're not talking about writing this kind of numbers.

If I write: 0,75 - Fusion will write 0
If I write 0.75 - Fusion will write 0.75

It just doesn't honor "," as a separator.

In Cinema 4D for example it doesn't matter if I use "." or "," - I always get the proper value.

I wrote to BM support today. Maybe they'll put it on the "request list".

Cheers!

[UPDATE]

I've been informed that it has been put on a request list.
Without a guarantee obviously, but somebody noticed a problem.

Support replied lightning fast BTW.

cheers!

Same here. Always bothers me that I cannot only use the num pad. Hope this gets implemented.

Three years have passed and still, a comma can't be used as a separator for values. I think even something silly and tiny has a low probability to be fixed

1+ on this. I often copy-paste numbers from a calculator and it always use "," instead of "." meaning I have to remeber to edit the number every time before pressing enter ornelse the number goes to 0.
Please add the posibility to use ","
You could simply just check if the written value has a single "," in it, change it to "."
If it has both "," and "." act like it does now.

I ran into the same issue and want to share my solution/workaround:

You can use the app "AutoHotKey" (I can't post URLs, just google it) to remap the NumPadPoint-Key from , to . only when DaVinci Resolve Studio is in the active (foreground) window with the following script:

Code: Select all

SetTitleMatchMode, 1
#IfWinActive, DaVinci Resolve Studio
{
    NumpadDot::.
}


Save this script text into a file, save it in a folder of your choice and run it with AutoHotKey. Done.

Will do until hopefully Blackmagic will fix this one day.

I registered here just to say thank you. This was driving me nuts as I'm used to use comma in EVERY other program. I use it in photoshop, illustrator, lightroom, cinema 4d, blender and basically everything else. Only Davinci has a problem with it

So thank you for this, it helped me a lot!

PS - If anybody has a problem to run it, run it with AHK v1.1 and not v2.0. I spent 20 minutes until I figured it out

Randomly stumbled on this thread and just wanted to chime in that as a Mac user I've been using Keyboard Maestro (not free but has had a lot of bang for the buck for me at least) for quite a while to make the Numpad comma (on my non US keyboard) generate a period instead when using DaVinci.

When you know how to use the app this specific shortcut switch is extremely easy to setup (no scripts involved).
