Title: I need ideas for programmable keypad settings!
Post by: QuincyJones on Wed, 15 June 2016, 04:42:57

What shortcuts have you got mapped to your keys, either direct shortcuts or through software like AHK?

Post there here and let's share some ideas to make our life even better!

My ideas so far:

Visual Studio:
debug start, stop, pause, restart, current line, step in, step over, step out
next file (ctrl+tab), previous file
team explorer view
save all files

generic:
winamp open, winamp play, next track in playlist, vol up/down

Key Tab                 A       4       WindowList
Key Tab                 W       1       RaiseLower


My current keyboard doesn't have a menu key, so that is subject to change.  I could sure use a couple more keys.

Do you have some extra key to switch between different layers of keybindings once the keys are programmed?

(Not that I really understand why one would need a programmable keyboard, since all keys can be assigned with something and then some more and yet something else on top of that.  The problem is how to remember what you put onto which key.)

Huh.  It looks like most people are using macros for "doing things".  I'm using them mostly for "typing things." 

I'm using cap lock (whose original purpose is nearly useless to me) as a modifier key to invoke a macro layer.  So CL should be read as "holding down that key."

CL- most of the alphabetic keys --> Greek alphabet
CL- numeric keys --> ∀ ∃ ∄ ∋ ∌ ∧∨∩∪ ∅
CL-much of spacing punctuation --> combining accents. (, for cedilla, ` for grave, ' for acute, " for umlaut, - and / for different kinds of strikeout, _ for underline, = for double underscore, . for dot-below, ^ for circumflex  etc, Basically whatever combining accent they sorta look like, plus some arbitrary mappings like @, &, * for circle-above, overbar, and breve).
CL-!  is ¡ and CL-? is ¿, CL-< is  « and CL-> is » (Spanish inverted punctuation and french quotation marks)
CL-numpad *  /  + - for  ×  ÷ ± ≅
CL-numpad 2, 3, 4 for √, ∛, ∜ (roots)
CL-numpad 8 for ∞ (infinity)

several others but you should see a geeky pattern emerging....
