Pure Pro help with alt + ... programming
« on: Tue, 03 March 2015, 01:43:33 »
I recently got my first mechanical keyboard, the Pure Pro. Long story short, I'm using the Slovak layout for coding, which means I have numeric characters only available after I hold the shift-key and a lot of the special characters are located elsewhere. Now, being the genius I am, I didn't think about the missing key that usually has the semicolon on the Slovak layout. Usually, you'd be able to type it by hitting Alt + 59, but that doesn't work on the Pure Pro... Was going to program it, but that doesnt

Needless to say, I'm pretty desperate at this point. Can anybody please point me in the right direction on what to do and how to fix this?

(Pls, no comments like "learn the English layout" - thanks :) )

You didn't mention what OS environment you use.  If windows could you use an Auto Hot Key script?  This would allow you to set it to any key combination you like.  I don't think this program works with linux based or Mac, though there are versions of that for these environments. 

Now how to go about doing that, I have zero clue.  I just know about these programs.

Hey, thanks man. I'm on Win8 and ended up using a program called SharpKeys to remap a key I don't usually use. I had to play around with it till I figured out I have to run it as administrator, but I'm good now :) .
