(See the best response by Kaiochao.)
Code:
winset(src,"default.map1","focus=TRUE")


Problem description:

I'm using forum_account's keyboard lib but when I press a macro it keeps switching to the chat pane and putting the macro letter in the chat box.
I've tried the code above but nothing changes.

That's a sign that your letter macros aren't actually being set. Maybe set_macros() isn't being called somehow (unlikely), or your interface doesn't actually have a macro set, or your default window doesn't use any macro set.

Okay, I've gotten it to start running but when you release the button you dont stop running.
mob/Player
    Login()
        ..()
        icon = 'Player.dmi'
        icon_state = "Walk"

        loc = locate (51,13,1)
        src << output("<font size=2><center> Controls:<br><br> Arrow keys= Movement<br><br>Space= Get Dodgeball<br><br>R= Run<br><br>Throw= </font></center>","output1")

Sounds like a different problem. Can you confirm that key_down() and key_up() are being called on whatever your client.focus is (defaults to client)?
Sep 30 2015, 5:38 pm
I profiled it and key_down() nor key_up() are being called.

By the way, if you make sure all your windows have the same macro set, macros will always be processed the same unless focus is on a text input, so you usually don't need to winset() focus.

So Forum_account's Keyboard library has a client variable called "focus" that determines which datum gets the keyboard events. If you want the player mob's key_down() and key_up() to happen, you have to set the client's focus to the mob, like so:
mob/Player
    Login()
        ..()
        client.focus = src
Sep 30 2015, 5:40 pm
I did, they still aren't being called.

I dont know if this will have an impact on your problem or not, but I can tell you that TRUE has to be true.
winset(src,"default.map1","focus=TRUE")//doesnt work
winset(src,"default.map1","focus=true")//works


Its an odd little inconsistency.
Oct 1 2015, 1:48 pm
Yeah, well. It's not even calling the procs so.

Im really curious how you get the mob to start running with run(), but key_down() isn't being called?
Oct 1 2015, 3:07 pm
Nope
Oct 1 2015, 7:31 pm
In response to Edit Nero
Nope-what? It wasn't a yes or no question.

Okay, I've gotten it to start running but when you release the button you dont stop running.
How are you getting the mob to run without key_down() being called?

In response to ZOMGbies
Nope, it isn't being called.

With recent changes, it doesn't run anymore. No proc is being called. I made a verb to manually do it but I would like the lib to run properly instead.

If key_down/up isn't being called, then you just follow the trail back one level. Which is checking whether set_macro is working as it should. Work out what you've changed about it, to fit into your code, or what you might not have changed.

It would be nice to see your version of set_macro() pasted here.

I know that in FA's version, he uses the default macro list known as "macro". Does your project use a custom interface at all? If so, maybe provide a screenshot of that file once opened (where it lists all the windows/panes/menus and macros.

Also:
With recent changes, it doesn't run anymore.
Which changes are they?
Oct 2 2015, 6:44 am
No, I haven't changed the interface. I copy pasted the lib and put the keydowns in my login code but they aren't being called. I can't post the code atm, I'm not at home.
Oct 2 2015, 7:27 am
...put the keydowns in my login code
If you mean like this
Login()
    key_down("r")

and its still not being called, then it sounds like theres a runtime error or something crashing the proc. If this is the case, check your world.log (options messages window/press F1 on default macros)
Oct 2 2015, 10:25 am
I'll have to check when I'm able which will be 2 hours. But I'm pretty sure it's not causing any runtime errors.

client
    var
        // map keys to the client procs they call
        __default_action = list(
            "north" = "North",
            "south" = "South",
            "east" = "East",

            "Run" = "r")

    // we have to define these procs here because clients don't
    // inherit from /datum.
    proc
        key_up(k, client/c)

        key_down(k, client/c)
            __default_action(k)

        #ifndef NO_KEY_REPEAT
        key_repeat(k, client/c)

        #endif

        #ifndef NO_CLICK
        click(object, client/c)
        #endif

        __default_action(k)
            // if the key has a default action, trigger it
            if(k in __default_action)
                var/proc_name = __default_action[k]
                call(src, proc_name)()

Dude. What the hell is this? I asked for set_macro and a screenshot of your dmf file.

Maybe that's the reason keydown isnt working. You dont have set_macro() in your code.
Oct 2 2015, 3:10 pm
It wasn't in the lib so I didn't know
