KEYCOMBOOUT?

I'm wondering how to use this script. I'm merely wanting a custom button (pad) to send a SHIFT + TAB to Ableton.

Yeah, i also tried to get this running but whatever i write it all stays red :/

Please, some quick examples on usage would be pretty cool.

the general format is

keycomboout(target, ctrl, alt, shift, key)

target is kbmouse out specified - for example 0
for ctrl, alt, shift you need to specify a 0 (false, no) or a 1 (true, yes)
and then the desired key in ASCII

for example
keycomboout(0, 1, 0, 1, 9) will produce ctrl+shift+tab and it will be output at kbmouse out 0

Here is the complete ASCII table for the keys!

Thank you very much. This explains it all

thanks, SOFTCORE...

i am still confused about how to use this. I created a custom button, created a script, and then in the script box for that custom button inserted: keycomboout (0,0,0,0,0); where do you set the mapping for the button? I put the midi and osc targets to none so that I didn't trigger the midi message that was generated upon creating the button. I set the kb/mouse button to 0 in the lemur daemon... thanks for your help

Hello, i want to send and arrow left message.
I,m trying keycomboout(0, 0, 0, 0, 37) but doesn,t work. Any ideas about what is the problem? I try other keycombout combinations and works, but i can,t with navigation arrows.
Please, some help!

Keycomboout is for combined keys!

You need

keyout(target, key, state)

for a single key press! Dont foerget that you also need to script a state=0 (key release) not only a state=1 (key press)

Thanks Softcore, i,m just starting with Lemur and I don,t know how to script very well the state.It took me weeks to understand to make a single keycomboout and now it will takes me my whole life to make this.
This is my template : Browser it,s working
But Left arrow still doesn,t work.

They,ll have to drop the line a lot, because sincerely this must be more easy to do.

All you have to do is change the behavior of the custom button to be a pad and replace the state number with x. This way when the button is pressed (x=1) a "pressed state" is performed while when the button is released a "release state" is performed.

KEY LEFT ARROW.jzml

Also, take notice, that the defined "keybout" and "keyboard_target" which you probably found from examples could be easily deleted and you can specify directly the target for the keyboard buttons by replacing the "keybout" and "keyboard_target" variables inside the scripts with your preferred kbmouse target referencing it by its index number. In the project you uploaded both are defined on target 1 (kbmouse 1) so you just have to type 1 as a target in your scripts. Read also my comments on the second set of keys!

thanks Softcore, but doesn,t work on mac. i really don,t know where it,s the problem.

actually, this is a problem at developer level particularly for Macs and certain software (such as Cubase, even on Windows) that use Macs mapping.

The only way to fix this is if a developer takes a look and SPECIFICALLY tries to create a script for the left arrow key and, possibly, the right arrow key (I gave up, don't remember if this one was troublesome too.)


The scripts do work, but there is something going on at core level that maps the Lemur arrow key script to some other key.

Any news on mac mappings?
