Surface Keys
The layout of the
iGesture Numpad's keys are shown above. To the
left is what we see on the physical pad and the right
shows the same keys in the MyGesture Editor.
Keys in the MyGesture
Editor can be selected by using the mouse and clicking
on the desired key. In the picture above, the
"End" key is selected. A key may also be
repositioned slightly by dragging the selected key using
the left mouse button. A right mouse click resets
the key to it default position.
Keys labeled "Empty"
represent hidden keys that may be programmed.
In its default configuration, the Numpad has a
hidden "BackSpace" key located between the left arrow
key and the delete key.
Editing a Key
Setting an action for a
key is done in the same way as setting a macro. In
this next example, we will see how we can set one of the
hidden keys to perform a paste (Ctrl-V) when hit.
Fist we will select the key to edit (shown below).
Notice there are currently no events set to this key.
To set an event, hit the "change" or "add" key.
The Key/Mouse/Macro Editor window will pop up.
We have two ways to set
this key to a Ctrl-V (paste):
1. Using a Key Stroke Event (like we did when we created
a macro)
2. Using a macro for paste that already exists in the
editor
For the sake of example, we
will use the built in macro. Selecting "Event
Macro Ref" under the Event Type loads a drop down
box that lists all the possible Event Macros currently
available to us (see
The Macro Library on how to create a macro).
We will select the macro "Paste" and hit ok.
The hidden key now shows as
being set to Ctrl-V.
Finally to update our
FingerWorks with this key change, we will hit the
"transfer button".
Mapping a Gesture,
as we will find out next, is done in a similar fashion
to setting a surface key.
