If I understand you right, you want to enter text like on a cell phone? rupi99 made an example for the keys 2 and 3. http://www.eventghost.org/forum/viewtop ... andy#p5169

And here is a script i just wrote:

Code: Select all

You have to replace all event-names with event-names of your remote. For example replace all DesktopRemote.1 with X10.num1, DesktopRemote.2 with X10.num2, etc. .

I have attached a complete configuration to test it with the DesktopRemote. The AV-Butten switches between a-z, A-Z, 0-9.

That's an awsome macro. Thanks for posting that.

I have a stupid question: how do I import the XML file into my current configuration XML?

Add the plugins 'Desktop Remote' and 'Timer' to your configuration. Then copy the above code and paste it in your configuration tree.

I have a Question to the Triple Tap Keys.
Could you Edit the Code, so when i Press as EXample:
1 (then it writes a, b, c etc.) but if i instantly press 2 (d, e, f) it didn't write the letter before.
When i write with my Handy it Displays the last letter which i looked for when i press the next Button from the Keys.

So: I want that the Button from the first Key get written when i choose a other Key.

Could you please do this for me?

I think your problem is solved by using plugin Multitap.
You can look into a brief guide to him.
Multitap is part of the installation EventGhost.
