Feature Request: Support special function keys
Thursday, June 1, 2006 by ZubaZ | Discussion: Keyboard LaunchPad
I was trying to help a WC user complete a task: Using Multiplicity, send keystrokes to a secondary.
I thought, "OK, use KPL to send the MP hotkey to go to secondary, send keystrokes to accomplish task, send MP on secondary hotkey to return control to primary." I figured I would have to set up KLP on both the primary and the secondary with matching hotkeys for it to work.
Imagine my surprise when I found I couldn't have a KLP hotkey call another special key, in this case, the Scroll-lock.
Next step, see if I can gin up a script to send the Scroll-lock and have KLP call that script. -=sigh=-
I don't think KLP is one ot the money-making apps in the ODNT suite and don't think this'll go far. But it never hurts to ask.
