Simulating SMS style texting

View

This posting is older than 6 months and can contain outdated information.

Is it possible to simulate SMS style texting within Remote Buddy's custom actions or ActionScript? I'm interested in this for the numbered buttons on my Harmony One, which otherwise aren't all that useful.

What I mean by SMS style texting is a series of keystrokes that cycle through on a keypress, timing out a specified time after the last keypress.

Is this possible?

Configuration

How do I add a new action to a Behaviour - f.ex. an emulated key press or AppleScript? (FAQ015E0153)
1) Open the Remote Buddy Preferences via the pulldown-menu and choose "Mapping".
2) Choose the mapping you want to modify.
3) Select "Custom actions" for the button you want to map to an action of your own.
4) Create the action you need using the appearing editor.

Hardware - Harmony® Smart Control

Which Harmony commands need to be assigned to the respective buttons on the Smart Control so that I can use all buttons with Remote Buddy? (FAQ015E0265)

If I haven't used the Harmony Smart Remote for a few minutes, Remote Buddy does not react to the first button press. (FAQ015E0263)
Please verify that no power saving options are enabled at "Remote Buddy > Preferences > Hardware > Bluetooth Receiver".

Thanks for asking.

Right now, this is not among the implemented functionality. And to add
it as custom actions would require that AppleScript provides async
timers, which I'm not aware of.

So I'm sorry to say, but what you want to achieve is currently not
possible. Your idea is certainly interesting, though. And I've just
included it in our feedback list.

Best regards,
Felix Schwarz
