I was working on some button imputing on my game and everything seemed to work fine! The game was recognizing Up, Down, Left, and Right, but when I got to other buttons like A, X, Y, anything that wasn't a directional button, it wasn't doing anything and it would just not respond. Is there something special you have to do with those buttons or is my computer just plain lame?

Would love some help and thank you!

Are you trying the "A, X, and Y" keys, or the keys they actually correspond to based on the settings? I forget which is which though beyond L = Qkey and R = Wkey

Wait, are you saying that the key's on RPG Maker mean different keys on the keyboard?

Yes, when RPGmaker says "A button", they are referring to a gamepad.

No, it's a purely internal reference. Gamepads use numbers for buttons, not letters. The A/B/C/L/R reference is for an intermediate step between actual input and internal usage. It's better for games to respond to when 'A' is pushed instead of when the key 'A' is hit to better support remappable keys (F1) and multiple inputs (keyboards and gamepads).
