Re: remote buddy functions?!

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.
Hi Felix,

Scratch everything i just said!!! (apart from the bit where i said i was going to purchase, im doing that now!)

All my problems would be solved if instead of the 'toggle key' actions there were 'toggle key then auto release(when there is a letter key press/event to complete the keystroke)' actions so that the modifiers are auto released instead of having to repress the relevant remote button to release the toggle.

This should also allow for combination keystrokes like the ones i can already perform with the default actions you sent me by pressing each remote button in turn and then entering a letter key press/action to complete the keystroke, but instead it would also release all modifier toggles.

You could also add the functionality to invoke the apple 'sticky keys' floating icons whenever the keys are toggled on so you'd know which buttons are pressed, just to make it easier on my brain!

[Edit] I Know this would work because i have just installed boinx softwares Mousepose and it works perfectly with remote buddy to tell you which modifier/s remote buddy is toggling on. 
I think mousepose hooks into apples 'sticky keys' floating icons some how because i had to check the box to 'enable assistive devices' in the osx universal access system preferences to get it to work, maybe you could use this same method in your program to bring up the same icons??

Thanks alot, 
Acam
