Can i make buttons that trigger shortcuts commands?

Hey can i trigger shortcut commands from lemur? If so how?

i do a workaround for this, download the wonderful app quickeys, thanks to it you can write any shortcut for automating any task in your computer, then quickeys allows you also to assign a midi binding to that shortcut.

quickeys takes half an hour to be learned.

you would simply select the incoming midi note or cc from lemur into quickeys, and assign it to desired shortcut.

Lemur manual page 131

keycomboout(target,ctrl,alt,shift,key) : outputs a simultaneous key strokes combination to
the defined KbMouse Target.

Syntax example of keycombo ctrl+shift+A on keyboard target 0

keycomboout(0,1,0,1,65);

keyout(target,key,state) : outputs a single key stroke to the defined KbMouse
Target.

Syntax example of a key "H" pressed

keyout(0, 72, 1);

of key "H" released

keyout(0,72,0);

How did I find the numbers that relate to keys A and H?

Here you are!

:O

it seems this lemur can do every trick out there!
and you know them all... i couldn't even imagine this one.

but, is there a way to focus on a given app if it is not in front? that would be great.

Softcore,
Are you using kbmouse targets successfully? Since I started using Lemur (about 1.5 years now) I have never been able to get the Lemur Daemon to connect to a kbmouse target on either my Mac or PC, even on a totally new clean install, on both my iPad first gen and iPad second gen, Firewall on or off. The Daemon just hangs when I press connect.
Thanks!

it works well, although I haven't used it for months. There are a few templates with keycomboout(target,ctrl,alt,shift,key), a general keyboard, one for Gimp. The connection has to be done in the Daemon.

If you fail to connect to the Daemon, try with static IP's on each device (computer and iPad).

HI Phil999,
Thanks. Yes I am using static IPs on both devices. Not sure what to say, I've tried everything under the sun. But if you are indeed using it successfully, that at least gives me hope, although I have no idea what to try.

Sorry for not replying earlier....I can confirm working perfectly in two windows machines, both Windows 7, one 32bit and one 64bit

thank you Softcore.

midimockup, you may have to try again or send us more details. It should work. Does any other Daemon connection work at all, or not? I am using iPads2 for this kind of tasks.

Nope, no problems connecting/receiving MIDI from Lemur Daemon via wifi or direct via iConnect midi 4+, or any combination of both.

Steps:
1) Open Lemur Daemon
2) Click Add
3) Open disclosure triangle, Daemon Kbmouse Out
4) Double Click: Mouse and Keyboard
3) Highlight "My iPad v5.03 (169.254.1.11:8001)"
4) Click Connect: nothing happens

that should work.

What is the IP and subnetmask of your computer? And the subnetmask for the iPad?

Hi sorry for late reply.

Connecting via ad-hoc network I see 169.254.1.5, 255.255.0.0

Hi mm, as Phil asked - you need to tell us the Subnet Mask you see at BOTH ends of the connection, the iPad AND the computer.

Essentially, they need to match, so both devices are on the same subnet.

So I tried fiddling with it this morning. Both devices are on the same subnet mask. Still no luck.

iPad:
169.254.1.11
255.255.0.0

PC:
169.254.1.5
255.255.0.0

Any other suggestions?

yes, try with 255.255.255.0.

Okay - next thing to check would be your firewall settings.

Changed both PC and iPad to 255.255.255.0. No change, I'm afraid.

Can you think of any Firewall settings I should try? I just tried turning it off completely with no change.

I just noticed something interesting. If I don't have any MIDI targets already connected, my iPad doesn't show up in the list for Select Source Port for: "Mouse and Keyboard".

The second I connect a MIDI Target (via LoopBE30), "My iPad v5.03 (169.254.11:8001) appears.

Shouldn't it make no difference to KBMouse if MIDI is connected or not?

Beats the sh*t outta me!

One thing though, possibly (probably!) unrelated . . . I never had much luck with LoopBE. I always found the free loopMIDI app to be much better.

As for suggested firewall settings - 'allow' seems appropriate! However, if disabling the firewall hasn't resolved your issue, it doesn't seem to be a factor, or at least not the *only* factor. I certainly wouldn't recommend disabling the firewall as anything other than a temporary troubleshooting step though.

you and me both, brother! I have no clue what's going on...

I actually think it may be a problem with my iPad since it hasn't worked on either my OSX or Windows system...
