Gimp

this is a keyboard-only interface for the open source image editor Gimp. Created and tested on Windows and US keyboard layout, but it should work on Linux and Mac, and also on other keyboard layouts.
The design is not very good looking, but functional. I think it can speed up a Gimp session. It is merely a test of what you can do with Lemur's mouse/keyboard option and non-music applications.

Many thanks to kraftf for his alphanumeric Lemur template, and to bxsj for additional help. Most of this Gimp template is based on kraftf's template. From it I made an ASCII table for reference, because all the ASCII tables I found on the internet didn't match. Credits for the key repeat function go to axel_liine and kraftf.

Phil999, axel_liine and kraftf thanks guys very interesting application. last time I tried GIMP it ran under X windows on OS X. If I get it running I can see how it would enable any app for extended control. nice!
I have to read the manual for connecting the Lemur daemon to local keyboard stuff..

I think I forgot an important thing to write in the instructions. The keyboard data goes to port 2. So here is how to set it up:

1. make sure the iPad is connected to the computer (wireless), and run the Lemur app

2. on the computer, open Lemur daemon. Click add, click KbMouse triangle, double-click Mouse and Keyboard

3. your iPad should appear. Click the triangle and select KbMouse 2


Sorry about forgetting that.

Very glad to see that keyboard has found its way to non music apps.
I initially made the alphanumeric template for creating keyboard shortcuts for music apps like ableton.
