Keyboard shortcuts for LCDs??

[hydrolisk1792]

Hey, is there any way to use some sort of keystroke to, lets say, go to the next screen?? Like for instance, Control, Alt, N Or someting simmular..

Would something like this work from any program? Like the winamp hot keys do?

There are a couple of plugins that do global hotkey functions... see these posts for more info:

Key plugin (polls keyboard directly) http://forums.lcdsmartie.org/viewtopic.php?t=202
Hotkey plugin (proper hotkey functionality) http://forums.lcdsmartie.org/viewtopic.php?t=193

I've never used these because my LCD has buttons built into the module.

Wow, it works freaking awsome. I'm using it with XPADDER.EXE so now I have USB Gamepad support for changing the screens status or whatever... This is awsome. Thanks a million

Glad to hear it's working well!

Which of the hotkey plugins did you use?

Why do the keyyboard shortcuts clash when I have multiple incarnations of Smartie open at the same time. for instance, When I hit Ctrl F10, I would like them all to go to the next screen. I tried to set them all up to do that, but it will only work on the one that I open first. Than the other ones that I open It says some like "Hotkey not found" or something of the sort.

That's a limitation (intentional) of how hotkeys work in Windows - only one application can use a particular hotkey at a time - the application "reserves" that hotkey for its own use.

You can try the other plugin I linked to - that might let you catch the keypress in more than one application at once, but I haven't tried it.
