Inserting a space with multitap

Post by tbodary »

I have set up my WMC remote to input text into my browser and it works perfectly except I cannot figure out how to get my "0" key to enter a space. The only macro options for multitap are "Key, Enter, Caps Lock, Backspace, Left, Right". I tried using "key" just like I did with all of the letters but that didnt work so Im stumped. Its either a really simple thing im overlooking or a bug lol. So any help would be appreciated.

Using
EventGhost 0.3.7.r1262
Windows Home Premium Service Pack 2
WMC Remote

Looks like it is a feature (or a bug) in the Multitap plugin. The whitespace characters get stripped around line 218 of the EventGhost/plugins/Multitap/__init__.py file with "self.listKeys[0] = ctrlKeys_1.GetValue().strip()". The space character should work if you put it in the middle of the keys, like for example use keys "a b". I'm not sure if this is intentional or not, but it seems to me like it should be changed.

You should report it to the author of the Multitap plugin here.

Heh, sorry Pako, I had not read completely through the Multitap thread. :oops: But let's continue the discussion there rather than here.
