You don’t exactly need a special keyboard, but a few keyboards with dedicated macro keys and built-in software make the experience much more accessible. Once you record your most-used tasks, you can sit back as the macro does the work for you. Recording macros is relatively easy, so long as you have the right software. With just a keystroke or two, you can open a new program, implement effects on Premiere Pro, or create a new file from a template on other editing software. The keyboard is so essential to everyday life-especially for those whose work involves sitting in front of a computer-that it often goes unnoticed. Consider these keyboard options and save time on your next edit. You can launch different application when macro is activated.Keyboards with dedicated macro keys can streamline your editing workflow. But it's perfectly usable for simple clicks.Īlso another macro action was implemented.
This was intended for toggle switches in simple home cockpit, however windows mouse driver provides some control on HW level so it brings only limited functionality. Mouse button can have different macro for press and release. Especially mouse wheel can be used for various actions in FS - tuning the radios, trim aircraft, set heading knob etc. Again default windows behavior is deactivated when mouse event has some macro assigned. Macro can be activated by mouse button press/release or mouse wheel scroll. On user requests (thanks for your input) mouse support was implemented. So you can have some cheap gamepad with 8 buttons and connect those buttons as light switches, gear control etc. gamepad button for a long time doesn't cause any processing in windows. Buttons of game devices can be easily used for toggle switches. However with Direct Input I'm able to manage various gamepads and joysticks. It is not a good idea to use keyboard button, because once the key is pressed keyboard driver keeps sending key-down messages to windows. Some of you asked for toggle switch option. One long web page was divided into several sections. Thanks to Marc Berthomeaux for French translation and pushing me add multilanguage support :-). If you want to translate HidMacros to your language, just check lang directory and send me appropriate lng and rtf file. Currently HidMacros comes with English, French and Czech language. This is now implemented with modifier &.Īdded support for multiple languages. Some games can use TAB as shift key, it means they need key combination e.g.When minimized to tray, application doesn't appear in task list. HIDmacros can be minimized to tray and started minimized.Version 1.7 with small improvementsīased on your requests small improvements were implemented. The content will be automatically converted once you run 2.0 first time.
Please feel free to send me new version.Īlso note that version 2.0 uses xml configuration file instead of old ini. Scripting possibilities are documented on special page.Īny feedback is appreciated at my email or support forum.įrench language file must be enhanced with new strings. The 2.0beta version can beĭownloaded here. Today first beta version was released and I'm looking for help with testing. Also iterfacing possibilities were extended (FSX variables, FSUIPC). The application was improved with scripting support.
So it is required to copy new version ofįile HidMacrosXpl.xpl to X-plane plugins directory. Command can be sent from script orĭirectly as macro action. Main purpose is toĮxecute FSUIPC macros and LUA scripts using offset 0x0D70
German translation is part of download package now.
