How to access Tempo within a Shift modifier?

Postby halz » Mon Jun 24, 2019 15:22

Code: Select all

1 - MCG Pro
2 - v1.95B
3 - #10
4 - Factory
5 - VKB Device Config v0.90.25 and/or v0.90.19
6 - NA
7 - attached


I would like to be able to better access the Tempo function within a Shift 0/Shift 1/Shift 2 modifier sequence. For example, as shown in the screenshots, Shift 1 + Physical Line 3/Reg #3 + Tempo Short Press = Logical button #119 (Key_Z), and Tempo long press = Logical button #120 (Key_Q), and "non-Shift" Line 3/Reg #3 = Logical button #19 (Key_A)

I understand that Tempo and Shift can only be accessed at the Physical layer, so I have attempted to use the Boolean JMP method to bridge Logical and Physical. This works in the screenshot example, but I feel like there could be a better way to do this, since I would quickly run out of space if I tried to use this technique for multiple buttons. In my example, four physical layer objects *and* 4 logical layer objects are used to only present 3 logical keyboard presses. This feels like too much wasted space.

What other techniques are available to access multiple logical buttons within one physical button? I tried to use the technique here viewtopic.php?f=25&t=3048&p=29975 but was unable to recreate it with the addition of Tempo (since ButtonX operates the Logical layer).

I have ended up using Joystick Gremlin to provide this "Shift" nested Tempo functionality. I do like the Boolean operators in the VKB software, since it gives us this flexibility to make some crazy/fun solutions, but I also understand there have to be some memory/register limits on what the njoy32 can do on its own.

In current set, there is only 1kbyte of parameters and they are all full

We need to wait for NG which will have 4kbyte
