Hi Felix,
Thanks again for the reply,
i need to be able to toggle the modifier keys without the virtual keyboard showing by 'pressing and releasing' the remote button, not holding for the duration because i need to make combination keystrokes which isnt possible with the remote because you cant press two buttons at once- for example the plus and the minus together which would be programed to shift and alt.
the function im talking about(toggle [modifier] until a key is pressed/drawn) works fine when the virtual keyboard is showing and you press the virtual keys manually, but i want to assign the 'toggle modifier' actions to the remote buttons without the virtual keyboard showing.
for example i could click the minus button to toggle alt, then click the right button to toggle cmnd(so that both are toggled on simultaneously without holding them), and then draw the gesture for 'esc' to force quit someting.
or if i had three items on the desktop i could click the top item with the wacom/mouse to select the first item, then click the remote plus button to toggle shift on, then click the Last item with the wacom/mouse to select all 3 items, this should then toggle all modifiers off because the keystroke has been performed just like it does when the virtual keyboard is showing.(or you could perform the same thing by just click the right remote button to toggle cmnd on and the draw the letter 'a' to select all)
i basically want to use my apple remote buttons instead of my keyboard modifier buttons (to toggle the modifiers not hold them because for some reason the computer cant enter wacom information and remote information simultaneously like it can with the keyboard modifiers and because of the reason i mention above about combination button presses on the remote.
the funny thing is i think i got it to work when i first set the buttons up, apples keyboard viewer was showing that remote buddy was toggling the right buttons when i pressed them on the remote, but as soon as i performed the first keystroke('select all' by pressing and releasing the right button on the remote to toggle cmnd on and then pressing the a button on the apple keyboard viewer to complete the keystroke) it would then seem to repeat the press of the letter 'a' automatically any time i pressed a modifier with the remote(before entering a letter myself manually by drawing a letter or typing a letter!)
is it possible to send you 2 screen grabs of my remote buddy settings ive made,these might help you more than my gibberish!
ive currently have these settings in the default behaviours:
plus = shift
minus = alt
left = ctrl
right = cmnd
play = space - by the way it would be really helpful if you could toggle space on/off for keystrokes as well as the modifiers!
play (held) - return
Thanks again for all your help, i really do appreciate it!
Acam
