Tricky idea: help needed

Post by IceGothic »

Ok; this is simple: I want to reproduce the behaviour of the numeric keypad of a phone for writing letters but on my RemoteWonder Remote (0-9 buttons).

For example:
- Pressing and re-pressing the "2" button will cycle through letters "A", "B" and "C". (EG would popup an OSD showing letter)
- When we stop cycling, the last shown letter is written. (In EG, something like OnAnyA-or-B-or-C_OSD.Close: Do Keyboard.EmulateLetter)

Yet, I succeeded to display the current letter in an OSD using python. With a LongPress, I could have cycle while pressing and write when button would be released but I don't have access to a ButtonReleased event.

Any idea/help anyone? I got a feeling it can be done... don't you?

There is a plugin for this called Multitap. You can set it up like a number/keypad on a phone as far as I remember.
