@@jadedplover1851 with one off shit like this that he'll most likely write once and only change extremely rarely, it was probably faster to just copy and paste a billion elif statements than teach himself a more "correct" way to code in an insanely niche, buggy language. IMO the elif statements are totally fine here because they're ultra clear on their function so anyone can edit it with 0 knowledge of Lua and Taran can go back and quickly change individual buttons without having to relearn how the program works.

5:18 -- I think your flight simulator friends have the right idea -- if you're making a massive extension space for keys, that you only use infrequently, then they should be mounted vertically, so you you don't have to look far from the screen, and then just reach out and hit the key that you see.
@Klaevin
@Klaevin 2 роки тому
I thought it was for the "flight sim" feel, but you're right. that makes a ton of sense. if your monitor is already on top of something on your desk, then you should just fix a keyboard vertically to the book 9or whatever your monitor is on top of)

+BaconOnToast I could find use of this in several different applications on workspaces. Since the code is already existing, it is not really a hassle to set-up. Like he said, Animators, video Editors and even CAD users could find this useful. It takes some time to get used to, but it is not really a big deal. As he said, this is to increase efficiency and if you have a work where you don't need to increase efficiency, it is not needed. But if you have one, it is good. Because increasing Efficiency means less Stress at work place.

to remember hotkeys I find it very useful to use Anki, as spaced repetition program. I use it to fairly easy remember hundreds of (self-programmed) hotkeys. Also: I switched to using autohotkey hotstrings rather than creating more hotkeys. hotstrings take a microsecond or so longer to type, but you can type them without having to look away from the screen, which is very useful to not interrupt your workflow. Actually, I think hotstrings like "oas" (plus "tab" to trigger the hotstring) etc. are even easier/faster to type than hotkeys like "ctrl + x".

I really don't understand how there is no software out there to take care of this. install it, identify secondary keyboards and notepads, and create new keys. also, add a key to press and make a Wacom-like pop-up interface that shows you which key has every macro just like elgato desk does, but on the pc's screen. or just a software to allow you create a digital macro keyboard that pops up and you click the button with your mouse. haven't even been able to find a simple method of creating a new modifier key nor to add an existing one to one of the many buttons on my mouse. this seems to be the only option, which is a nightmare for someone who has no idea about programming and only wants some damn additional keys for his gaming and workflow.

If such easy to use software is made and becomes popular, then like dual monitor people will start using dual keyboards and dumb people will think I have two computers as they now think with dual monitor. I think it should be built-in into windows itself

This might be like was Zweiko and Yangem mentioned, but I've heard of software that lets you turn the number pad keys into macros. I think it was some text expander or text replacer software that included a macro function.

@Thalanox 4 роки тому
I did a search a while ago and found something called MultiKeyboard Macros that seems to do exactly this. Their 1.15 release happened in November 2019, so it might even have been made in response to the sequel to this video.

Finally... I have been looking for such a solution for years. Awesome. Even better: It is possible to dismantle old keyboards and Hook custom buttons to the Microcontroller. So... You can build a Keyboard with an entirely custom Layout. Combined With this method, the possibilities are endless.

@Mgis90 11 місяців тому
yes, and you wouldn't even need to use Lua layer. You could make any next keyboard send a sequence of keys with a prefix, so that we could skip transferring data over a textfile. Ahk can catch and recognize the prefix and any code afterwards. Then I would be just careful for the target program to not get accidental inputs not meant yet for it. Also ahk supports vk codes and there's a lot of them.

this is probably the best video I've seen here in a long long time. didn't even know that I want this and luckily I have an old board lying around. I'm a complete beginner at editing and learning the shortcuts is probably what has been holding me back most of the time, this gives me a lot of more options while the idea with taping the function to the key works great with my cheap keyboard (won't tape anything to my mech)

This is the first interesting and informative LTT vid in a while. Thanks Taran for giving us some new and useful content! Would love to see more stuff like this that goes beyond building machines with not one but TWO Titan Xs! The build videos are cool every now and again but most of us will never have a chance to emulate and learn from those kind of videos. Taran gave a project that I can and will try now, because it is something accessible to just about everyone, even if I have no use for 87 extra macro keys. I hope you guys keep doing accessible projects like these.
