keyboard simulator plugin?

[Fiasco]

I saw the keyboard plugin to trap keypresses from making it to the OS.

Is there a keyboard plugin that will translate events from my iphone remote app to keypresses?

I've got my keyboard made and mapped and the events are appearing in EventGhost (HTTP.F or HTTP.G for example). How can I translate HTTP.G to a press of the G key?

This is a default feature of EG. You can find it in Actions -> Window -> Emulate Keystrokes. If you don't target anything with the find window action before emulating the keypress it will go to the focused window as usual.

I'd suggest you change the event name you are triggering to for example HTTP.sendkey, and set the payload to what you want to emulate (so your links will be like "http://eghost:port/?sendkey&A" and so on). Then make a macro you trigger with "HTTP.sendkey" and inside put an emulate keypress action with "{eg.event.payload[0]}" as the string to emulate. This way you only need one macro as it emulates whatever was as the event payload value.

Try this quick example and you will understand what I mean: (copy&paste into EG)

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<EventGhost Version="918">
    <Macro Name="Example" Expanded="True">
        <Event Name="HTTP.sendkey" />
        <Action>
            EventGhost.ShowOSD(u'{eg.event.payload[0]}', u'0;-24;0;0;0;700;0;0;0;1;0;0;2;32;Arial', (255, 255, 255), (0, 0, 0), 0, (0, 0), 0, 3.0, False)
        </Action>
    </Macro>
</EventGhost>

Works like a champ.

Only question remaining is how do I trigger special keys like Backspace or Enter?

edit... found answer... enclose special keys in curly braces {enter} {back} ect.

Thanks!
