Implementing Keyboard Shortcuts

Postby SBMastering » Wed Jul 24, 2013 10:26 pm

I'm working on a concept right now and it really needs to use a keyboard shortcut.

I'm posting a screecap of what I tried. I got it to work right there in Flowstone/Synthmaker, but when I exported to VST it did not work in the host (Samplitude).

I most of all would like it to work with the "0" button on the keyboard's numpad.

Anyone know of a way to make this work?

Any help would be VERY appreciated.

hmm, im using shortcuts too, works fine here, (cubase, renoise) maybe the "0" is also used by the host?

here you can find all key code constants - for 0 in numpad it should be "vbKeyNumpad0"

Both of you have been a tremendous help, thank you.

It took a little bit of doing and figuring out, but now it's working -- a keyboard shortcut/hotkey sends out a boolean and manipulates a switch.

The only problem is that if you work the switch the the mouse and then work it with the numpad "0" key, sometimes you have to press the key twice to get it to switch again. This is the only bug I can't seem to fix. Click a bit, then press the "0" button on the numpad a bit and you'll see it slip up.

I'm posting a FSM of the Keyboard Shortcut module and the Toggle Switch as a tiny contribution. It's formatted to be very easy to work with.

I put a list of the key codes in the Keyboard Shortcut module to make them easy to reference.

If anyone wants to take a crack at fixing the bug, please have at it.
