How to Press 2 keyboard keys at the same time with one button?
Posted: Fri Apr 27, 2018 23:48
Has anybody setup Keyboard buttons to send keys for external apps like Teamspeak, Simple Radio, and Voice Attack?
I have an x55 and don't use a headset, so all the audio comes through my speakers. On my x55 I have a macro that presses down a key to mute speakers and another key for PPT for Teamspeak. The keys stay pressed as long as I keep holding the button.
I cannot figure out how to do this in the VKB Dev Config tool..
(And I don't want to bind joystick buttons to Teamspeak, VoiceAttack, or Mute because I also want to keep my x55 using the same commands. And you cannot bind 2 joysticks to 1 command in some of these apps.) But I can bind 2 keyboard keys, and send them from a button on different joysticks. At least I can do it with my x55...
This seems to be impossible with VKB.
It seems that a Toggle button would work best because it presses and stays pressed util I release it. And it doesn't repeat. But I need to press 2 keys, and it only supports 1 key. And I could press 2 keys using a Macro. Except that a Macro doesn't allow the use of a Toggle button.
And the manual is like a mechanical engineering reference, not a 'user' manual. Very frustrating trying to do simple things.
** Also, I tried using the Audio item to Mute my speakers, but it doesn't work at all. That would be helpful if it worked.
