[resolved]How to assign SHIFT key from keyboard to pinky on VKB Gladiator MK2 ?

Postby enibruT » Fri Dec 14, 2018 14:24

Hello,

I'm coming here to seek any help on this.
I've tried several hours to understand the mechanism and how I can assign the pinky to behave as the SHIFT key pressed on my keyboard.
I tried to use three links for that :
http://ftp.vkb-sim.pro/Documentations/c ... _10_En.pdf
and viewtopic.php?t=2342
and viewtopic.php?f=27&t=3007

with no success at all. I feel like I'm really dumb on this issue.

The objective is : when I press the pinky button, it will act as I'm pressing the SHIFT key on my keyboard.
This way, pressing the trigger only will be button 14 and pressing the pinky+trigger will be SHIFT+Button 14

I'm not English native, is somebody could lead me to a simple guide or explain to me please ?

Thanks a lot in advance,
enibruT

Look at this topic http://forum.vkb-sim.pro/viewtopic.php?t=2342#p23179. I have checked. It does work!!!
Launch VKBDevCfg.exe, click cell corresponding to pinky. Select Keyboard in Button Mapping wizard dialogue, Select KEY_*********in combo box, check desired modifier (RShift for example)
Open Global -Common tab. Check Map, Select Classic (Keyboard Mode). Press Set button. Check pinky button working as keyboard shift key.

Thanks a lot for your quick reply, I will try this at home tonight !
Just a quick question to be clear : how can I know which cell correspond to the pinky only ? Because when I press the pinky, nothing is highlighted on Wizzo or VKBDevCfg...

Thanks :)

Look at upper picture. Check Poll. Now when you press joystick button its cell will be highlighted with red dot.

Note! I tested this function with Mamba controller, it has onboard button))) I have not a joystick on my workplace. So you can see (I think) another cell.

A big THANK YOU !
It's working and very simple ! The clue I missed was where to highlight the correct button on physical layer "Poll" is the key :)
Thanks again and have a very nice day !!
