Just Shift or Ctrl

[clementk]

How would i make a Key that does Just Shift not shift + something. i want to use a bluetooth numbpad with my surface for photoshop but can't seem to find how i can make it just use SHIFT and CTRL with no extra keys

You can't. Not supported, sorry.

I'm in exactly the same situation... Surface and Photoshop...
Did you find a workaround? And for ALT key?

+1 Will this ever happen?

[admin]

Hmm, if there's a need I may add it.
But would be luamacros only, not hidmacros.
Still ok?

Hi, I've just stumbled on this issue myself.

1. Being able to use modifiers on their own is pretty crucial to my workflow.

2. I'm definitely not a coder but if Lua Macros now supports that, I'll learn it

Hey, I just made an account to say that I'd really appreciate this feature!

In the meantime lmc_send_input was added to LuaMacros and with this function you should be able to send just modifier, e.g. for shift:

Code: Select all

lmc_send_input(16, 0, 0) -- press shift
lmc_send_input(16, 0, 2) -- release shift

Actually, you can write some scripts on other platforms, i.e. python, perl or NodeJs, so as to perform the related function, while using LuaMarcos to call the script.

For instance, in "shift.py", write the following two lines

import pyautogui
pyautogui.press('shift')

Then, you can call it from LuaMarcos by

lmc_spawn(python_path, program_path .. "shift.py")

Hence, with the related techniques, I found LuaMarcos is mighty!!!
Also, Admin, may I know how can I call a lua script in the folder path with spaces.....
I have tried to decompile the exe to add the " " in IDA but fail....

PS. Thanks for Admin to write the nice program like that!!!!!
