Alphanumeric keyboard template for windows!

[Phil999]

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,

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 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.
