MCE remote keypad to type letters and number does not work.

[Starlight]

I'm new to EventGhost and basically i want to control Firefox browser using the remote control I have everything set up the only problem I'm having now is that MCE remote keypad to type letters/numbers does not work and I'm stuck on how to program. Right know the only thing i can do is assign 1 letters to a buttons and this isn't going to work as i'm going to run out of buttons to use for the letters. Does anyone here know how i can program the remote keypad to work and act as if I'm texting? like pressing number 2 button multiple times to have a or b or c or 2.

Looks like the Multitap plugin is what you want. Rightclick->Add plugin->Other\Multitap

I tried Multitap plugins but i'm having a difficulties on using it even when reading the instruction. If you know how to use it could you show me an example?

Have looked at this Multitap thread? hopefully it gets you started.

I got the Multitap set up already the only problem I'm having now is inserting the type text to IE browser. posted the issue in the Multitap thread already.

I did a small test.

To send the text I needed to make a macro that catches the Multitap.Test u"ab" event that is created after pressing the Multitap enter action, and then use a Emulate Keystrokes: {eg.event.payload} action.

I followed what you have in the screen shot, I see text when pressing the number 2 button but it keep typing "none" instead of abc2.

I'm I doing something wrong could you check my configuration file.

I'm I doing something wrong

Yes and no.

In your Emulate Keystrokes: {eg.event.payload} macro, the Multitap.SMS event has an extra "space" character after the last "S", remove it and it should work.

Almost fix, I've done what you said it's now working i see abc2 however still see "none" in front of the abc2 . "None" seem to show up when i click the number 2 button.

Here's what i see when typing

NoneaNoneNonebNoneNoneNonecNoneNoneNoneNone2

Hmm, I have no idea where that none can be coming from, after I changed Multitap.SMS event and added my remote buttons to the config you attached, and it works perfectly.

Post the log when you get this problem, maybe I can see where it comes from.

I got it fix thank you so much for you help.

I tried every keypad buttons and everything work except the number 2 buttons so i check the configure file and notice that i had a duplice macro of number 2 buttons so i deleted it and it work.

I'm still not sure where the "none" is coming from also or how did i trigger it. The only thing i did to fix the issue was to delete the events and to create a new one this time i type it instead of drag&drop.

Do you know how to configure Multitap to automatically enter the text without pressing the enter button.

[jonib]

Sorry, no.

Do you know how to configure Multitap to automatically enter the text without pressing the enter button.

Unfortunately it is not possible if you use SMS mode of plugin.
In other modes (NumPad and SingleKey) it is possible.
The mobile phone also can not stop typing SMS using the timeout.
I'm not sure, whether your problem is already solved.

The problem that i have is fixed already.

Is it possible to configure Multitap to not display the OSD and to instead display the type text to IE address bar/web search box directly. If it is possible, how do i configure it?
