AI can no longer be ordered via numpad

Description

Hello,

In Arma 3, I had commanded AI units via the numpad. E.g. I opened the "Move menu" with Numpad 1, and then selected with Numpad 1, for example, that the units should get back into formation. Or another example: I press numpad 8, the formation menu opens, and with the corresponding numpad key I select the formation. None of this works anymore: The action menu opens and I can also jump into the submenus, but the commands just mentioned will not be carried out. Strangely enough, however, some commands already work, such as specifying a target for the units, saluting or sitting down.

I completely reinstalled Arma 3, moved the Appdata folder and the Arma 3 profile folders to start over. I haven't loaded any mods.

The normal keys 1-0, on the other hand, work perfectly when opening the action menu and command, although they are not entered in the settings.

Please help

thanks

Unik renamed this task from Vanilla Commanding Menus cannot recognize Numpad keys to AI can no longer be ordered via numpad .

To the devs:
Doing this seems like a good solution to me:
Use the shortcuts[] property to show the keybinds next to commanding menu items, but also add the assigned keys from shortcutsAction to this array.
E.g. in RscMenuMove we have:

shortcuts[] = {2};  
shortcutsAction = "CommandingMenu1";

if the user is using Numpad1 for "CommandingMenu1", you just add it next to the shortcuts[] array before creating the menu (in this example, shortcuts[] = {2, 79}; should be used before creating the menu).
I have tested this with custom commanding menus and it works perfectly fine.

Here's a copy paste example:

test_menu = [
  ["testing", true],
  ["TestItem 1 (1/Num1)", [2, 79], "", -5, [["expression", ""]], "1", "1"],
  ["TestItem 2 (2/Num2)", [3, 80], "", -5, [["expression", ""]], "1", "1"]
];
showCommandingMenu "#USER:test_menu"

Thank you for reporting the issue, i could confirm the problem on my machine.
We will see what we can do.

Any news? We need to bind the commanding menu on the numpad. Thx
