Hello

Got my first MK this past Christmas (2015), a Das Keyboard 4 Ultimate Mechanical Keyboard with Cherry MX Blues. I love it!

I'm in the process of making a macropad now. Going to do a clone of this one! https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalKeyboards/comments/3zsf4k/photos_handwired_macro_pad_with_round_5_caps/

Thinking I might use a Trinket as the controller and AutoHotKey to manage my macros

Welcome. Autohotkey for managing a custom built macropad? But why? Why not use a teensy and flash your TMK/QMK goods onto the macropad? Teensy can't hold all the characters? Forgive me if I seem noobish; I've yet to build a keyboard.

Chances are I'm the noob.

Currently I use a trinket to run keyboard commands like "Win+Alt+F1" which then AutoHotKey parses to open Putty with auto log in with SSH key auth.

Can TMK/QMK do those kinds of multi-key-press macros?

TMK/QMK could probably handle Win+ALT+F1. Now I kind of understand why you would want to use AHK ^-^

Welcome to Geekhack!

I'm not sure about the TMK firmware, but there's a whole thread about it - you can ask your questions there for an informed and accurate response.

"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada
