How to turn on Debug without using scroll lock?

Recommended Posts

My Dell keyboard doesn't have a scroll lock button. I've tried two things to try to activate debug in-game. First, I tried running the game in windowed and using scroll lock to activate debug with the on-screen keyboard. That didn't work, so I tried something else. I downloaded a program called SharpKeys which remaps any key of my choosing to one that I desire. That worked, but when I opened DayZ and got in a server, it didn't open the debug screen. I could tell it worked because when I pressed the key that was remapped to scroll lock the on-screen keyboard showed that scroll lock was being pressed.

This leads me to here, since I have no idea how to open debug because I don't have scroll lock and have tried everything I could to open the debug. This isn't a server side bug because others can use the debug screen because they have scroll lock. Is there any way to change the button for scroll lock to something else or open it by doing something weird? My keyboard doesn't have any FN keys and there is no hotkey to turn on/off scroll lock because there isn't a secondary key on any one of the keys on my keyboard.

Removed? I didn't know that. I just want to find out my humanity. The server I'm currently using uses debug.

I'm on a desktop using a Dell keyboard. This is a recent version of a keyboard where the keys like scroll lock were removed to fit in keys that rewind, turn up/down volume, and fast forward media. That's why I can't open debug. It doesn't have an FN key and there are no sub key or secondary key pictures on any key face.
