Enjoy wifi control of you PC's connected to the network.
Open the Daemon client and connect one Keyboard and mouse port and choose the port from the port selector inside the template and you are ready.

thank you very much for this.

I did this, but it doesn't work. I entered the IP of my wifi in the OCS 0 field, is that all one has to do next to the above? Also, what I don't understand: the daemon is for MIDI only. How does the communication between computer and the virtual keyboard work when it sends OSC data? There must be some OSC-daemon that translates the OSC-data into Windows key presses. But I guess I'm not understanding the whole thing.

No its not OSC or midi related.
Go to the Lemur Daemon and click the add button. Select Kbmouseout.Then you will see your ipad. Double click it and select one of the eight ports.
Next go to the template and select the same port number and your are ready.

ah, now I understand. However, I see no available ports under the iPad, just the name without this small triangle to the left. Maybe because this laptop is HDMI-connected to a touch-screen-monitor (I type with the W7 virtual keys), or because there are already two MIDI ports open. With a netbook the ports under the iPad were available, the connection was established. Windows key, typing, etc. still doesn't work for some unknown reason, but I understand now how this key/mouse connection works. That's enough for me today, next time I learn how to create macros.

Thank you for your help.

still scratching my head with this one. Tried it with a 'normal' computer with attached keyboard and mouse. The Lemur daemon shows my iPad, I can select 0-7 key/mouse ports, select the same port in the template, but still not working! Tried it with port 0 on both sides, and with port 1 on both sides. I don't understand, it must work when the daemon shows the working connection.

First of all you should be using a windows computer. Have only tested in XP not vista/7.
Secondly you should select the corect port(hat you have assigned through the daemon client) inside the template.
If you've done all the above I wouldn't know why its not working for you.

ah, this might be the reason. I tried it on Windows 7 computers only.

Just tested it. Works like a charm under Win 7.

Edit: I nearly forgot. In the above template, the global variable keybout needs to be defined in the container Keyboard.

over time I realised that one has to adapt this template to make it work in W7. So, at the container level, you create a script 'keybout', but what do you write in there?

I've never sent keyboard/mouse data from Lemur, and I want to learn how. This is the only template with keyboard/mouse I have found. Can keyboard macros be created? Ctrl d, ctrl shift s, etc.?

Hi
Yes - see keycomboout(target, ctrl, alt, shift, key) function . . .
Cheers

thanks for the reminder. Again, it's in the manual. I don't have it working yet, but this is going to be another big thing, to control any kind of software with Lemur.

For reference. Attached is a working copy of the alphanumeric keyboard library. A global variable (keybout) to hold the assigned Lemur port was missing in the original.
Cheers,

Alphanumeric Keyboard.jzlib

Yeap, my mistake.
Had the keybout variable globally declared so it didn't make it into the jzlb file.

it's working at last. Thank you kraftf and bxsj.

The funny thing is, I already had a modified working template, but I didn't expect it to work, so I didn't try it.

Wow, I found this page a few days ago great job on the keyboard first of all! I have been trying to adopt portions of this to in iphone remote control for my TV. The problem I am having is with the arrow keys. They seem to stay holding down once you initially press it. (It's strange, I use a program called EventGhost to send out the keystrokes to AV hardware, so it shows me what keys are being pressed). The only way to make EG stop seeing those keys as still being pressed down is to close it out. I made a similar template with Touch OSC and Bomes midi translator, but with lemur it would get rid of all the extra apps required.

I looked at the code for the key commands specifically, and just don't understand programming enough to know what to change. Basically when key is held keep going, when you let go of key, it should keyup. Any ideas in the code on this that might cause EG to think they are just being held down the entire time, but also still work? lol... Thanks for this btw!

do the arrow keys work normally when you try them on a computer?

I want to thanks kraftf and bxsj for this template that i use in my Reaper OSC template.

I am having a problem where I have this template working perfectly with my PC for any application except for the one in which I wanted to use it for. I have added it to my template for use with Traktor software so that I can search my tracks. Basically the lemur keyboard works great for everything (I wrote this post with it) and works fine in notepad etc. but in the search field in Traktor I might only get one letter out of 10, kind of like I need to hit a bunch of keys to get characters out.

I have since created a new very simple template as a test, with only 1 pad which triggers the script:
keyout(0, 0x48, x);

This successfully writes a "h" character anywhere I want except for traktor.

If anyone knows what this possibly could be I would love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks, Mitch.
