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.

      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.

    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 2 роки тому +5

      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)

    • @Mgis90
      @Mgis90 Рік тому +1

      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.

    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.
