if the characters do not have their own key. Interim fix not it difficult, fortunately.
Action "Emulate keystrokes" should be replaced by actions "Python script":

Dictionary "Conversion" course, you must adapt to your needs.
Great! I'll try it right now.

Also I do not understand what you mean. What is the problem with spaces?

When you try to assign the space char to a key (like 0) and you assing for example "[space]0_" via the GUI, when you save changes the space dissapears. You have to modify manually the __init__.py

I see. But why you do not put the space character simply somewhere other than the first (or last) position? It is much easier to see.

Hello everybody...
Been testing multitap plugin with xbmc and it works great... very nice plugin.
What i find it lacking is ability to draw own osd on second monitor...

I am using xbmc as media centar displaying it on lcd tv and can't see osd when using multitap from my chair.
Maybe I just missed that option somewhere...
Can this be done somehow?

I have fulfilled the promise. From SVN repository you can download the new version of the plugin.
Added ability to choose the monitor, on which the OSD will displayed !
Unfortunately, I do not have the opportunity to benefit from these improvements.
Please test in routine use and reporting of results.

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.
Yes, it was the intention. But since this is already second request for change, I no longer insist on it.
Now can be downloaded new version (0.1.12) from the SVN repository, which has this feature has not.

Hey Pako, after getting the Mediamonkey plugin working, I want to implement the Multitap plugin.
I'm still running Eventghost 0.3.7.r.1387 on a Windows 7 Professional x64 system. I downloaded the latest plugin from the SVN, but when I add the plugin to my configuration tree I got the follwing errors in the log:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "EventGhost.pyw", line 31, in <module>
File "C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\eg\__init__.py", line 109, in Main

func()
File "C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\eg\Utils.py", line 176, in Wrapper
eg.Tasklet(func)(*args, **kwargs).run()
TaskletExit
I'm not able to enter the configuration of the Multitap plugin. If I try, it's only logged:
Plugin: Multitap
and nothing happens.

Did I do anything wrong, or forgot something?

This is a bug.
He originated when I added the option screen selection.
He only appears when you add the plugin to config tree and I am unfortunately not tried.
Please download the new version.

Thanks Pako. Now it's working.
But I got one little issue. When I'm using XBMC in fulscreen mode, Multitap's OSD is not visible. It works correctly, but I just can't see the OSD.

When I have the opportunity, I'll try it. If the problem is reproducible, I'll try to resolve it.

I'm new to EventGhost and using a MCE remote. My plan is to control IE Browser using a MCE remote control. So Typing text is important, I have everything set up and the OSD/Logger shows the type text correctly but the type text won't insert or display in appplication like notepad and IE Browser. As you can see in the screen shot. Anyone know what I'm doing
wrong or can anyone help me resolve the issue that I'm having? All I need now is to put those type text in the IE browser address bar/web search box or notepad

Hi Pako,

This is a fantastic plugin and I got the SMS working great with the help of your tutorial :-)

But I can not for the life of me work out the single key working as a toggle.

Please could you help me.

I would like the button CyberlinkUniversalRemote.Info on my remote.

1st Press = Event 1
2nd Press = Event 2
