Conditional responses based on time

[sfreema1]

Hello all,
This is my first post. I did some research and haven't quite found the answer to my question. Here goes. Is it possible to have a macro (associated with a button press) send different keystrokes based on a time interval between button presses? Specifically, I want to set up my remotes numeric keys to act much like a cell phone when texting (i.e. press 1 for a, press again within a second for b, press a third time within a second and send c). I wasn't sure if I needed to do some advanced scripting within python of if I can do it thru the gui or even at all.

thanks so much for any help you can provide

Theoretical you can do this by combining many "enable exclusive" macro groups and scheduled events (with EventGhost/Trigger Event actions or actions of the "Timer" plugin) to reset the states on timeout. Take a look at the state examples in the Example.xml to get an idea how to switch states.

But this would be a big bunch of macros to get it working. So if you have some scripting skills, it would possibly much easier to do it with a script. Or even a plugin if you want to have it perfect.
