VKB-SIM

Have played with VKBDevCfg for a while but I feel I'm not even close to the solution. The desired functionality is:

Mode 1:
- A3 HAT works as default, all HAT directions are just buttons
- The top LED is, say, blue

Then I push the HAT (button #10) and the mode changes to Mode 2:
- A3 HAT directions trigger macros (keyboard keypresses)
- The top LED is, say, red

Then I push the HAT (button #10) again and Mode 1 is re-activated. And so on.

Is that possible?

Clarify - are macros running (a chain of sequential programmed keys) or just individual keyboard keys? Give an example of what should be launched.

Series of keystrokes like "down, up, left, left". Four such series for four HAT directions in Mode 2.

The macros are not the issue, though. I struggle to switch modes and to modify LED colour when mode changes.

Make it a regular HAT 2, cursor keys or keyboards, for example, A, B, C, D? Three options.

I feel like the thread goes in wrong direction. Or, at least, not a direction I'd like it to go.

So, let me rephrase my question:

How should I configure button, A3 HAT and top LED to make the button switch between two "modes" in which:
- the HAT behaves differently
- LED has different colour

?

This way:
1. Set up that HAT to be Shift activated (Mode, if you prefer), like here;
2. Close VKBDevCfg and navigate to its folder. Open the file called zconfig.ini, open it and add this line: User=Developer under the [User] section. Save it and close it;
3. Go to Global/ External/ LEDs tab and pick one of the lines with External set as Event. Pull down the roll menu and set it up as Shift (1). Set the OP1 as 1 (2) and LED# as 10 (the RGB LED on grip's head) (3). Play with the settings at (4) to set up your preferred color.
4. Click Set when done (5).

It works! Thanks a lot!

Open the file called zconfig.ini, open it and add this line: User=Developer under the [User] section. Save it and close it. This is info I needed! Great job!

There's a better solution...
