11. Hold Shift State: This action causes pressing the triggering control to
enter the appropriate shift state. The controller remains in that shift
state until the triggering control is pressed a second time.
12. Scroll Direction: This scrolls in the selected direction.
Action - Type Keystroke
When “Type Keystroke” is selected as the action, you have
two additional options.
Keystroke
The “Keystroke” box is where you enter the key to report for the Type
Keystroke action. Select this box and press the key you want. You can
also add modifier keys here by holding the modifier key you want as
you press the key.
Frequency
The “Frequency” pop-up details how the key is reported to the system.
1. Once: This indicates the system will act as if the key is pressed and
released once. The keystroke will not be reported again until the
control is released and re-pressed.
2. Hold Down: This indicates the software will report the key held down
as long as the triggering control is held down.
3. N times/sec: The software will report the key being pressed and
released very quickly.
4. Every N seconds: The software reports the key being pressed and
released as listed, once every N seconds.
Action - Press Modifier Keys
When “Press Modifier Keys” is selected as the action, you have the
additional option of selecting which modifier keys to press. Select the
modifier keys you want pressed by clicking on the appropriate button.
Action - Open File or Folder
When “Open File” or “Folder” is selected as the action, you have the
additional option of selecting what to open. Click the “Item to Open”
control to bring up a standard file chooser, then choose the item you
want opened when the triggering control is pressed.
Action - Run Macro
When “Run Macro” is selected as the action, you have the additional
options of creating or choosing which macro to run.
Macro Pop-Up
The macro pop-up is how you manage macros.
1. No Macro Selected: This is the default. No macro has been selected
yet. You cannot choose this option; it exists to indicate that you need
to select a macro.
2. New Macro…: This brings up the Edit Macro dialog empty, so that
you can enter a new macro.
3. Edit Macro…: This brings up the Edit Macro dialog with the current
macro so that you can edit it.
4. Delete Macro…: This deletes the current macro.
5. Macros by Name: The pop-up lists the existing macros by name.
Selecting one sets it as the macro for this action.
Action - Mouse Click
When one of the “Mouse Click” actions is selected, you have the
additional option of selecting which modifier keys to report at the same
time. Select the modifier keys you want pressed by clicking on the
appropriate button.
Action - Scroll Direction
When one of the “Scroll” actions is selected as the action, you have
two additional options.
Scroll Speed
The “Scroll Speed” pop-up lets you select how far to scroll when this
action is activated.
Frequency
The “Frequency” pop-up details how often the key is reported to the
system. This behaves just like the frequency selection of the “Type
Keystroke” action.
Edit Macro Dialog
The Edit Macro dialog is where you edit the macros you want
to use.
1. Macro Name: Macros need names to distinguish them from each
other; enter the name here.
2. Key Speed: The Key Speed is the time between reported key presses.
If the macro repeats, this is also the time between the last key press
and the first.
3. Clear: This erases the keystrokes recorded for this macro.
4. Keystroke List: This is the list of keystrokes that the software will report
while this macro is running. You can select any box and type a key to
replace the key in that position. You can have the macro report
modifier keys by pressing them with the key to report.
5. Repeat until released: When this box is checked, this macro will
restart from the beginning if the triggering control is still pressed. If this
box is not checked, the macro will stop when it reaches the end of
the keystroke list, even if the triggering control is still pressed.
