jkey bug? Thread last updated on 2006-05-15 12:53:06

In vk104.txt:
VOLMUTE , AD
VOLUP , AF
VOLDOWN , AE

CALC , B7


In hotkey.rc:
*Hotkey .none CALC calc.exe

*Hotkey .none VOLMUTE !SliderMute
*Hotkey .none VOLUP !SliderVolumeUp
*Hotkey .none VOLDOWN !SliderVolumeDown


I have it all set up right, but the thing is every time I press "x" the first hotkey with ".none" in the parameters is activated. The hotkeys work fine, but then I can't use the lowercase "x", which is sooo bloody annoying.

How do I fix it?

Not a bug in LS...you just told it to redefine your x key to calc.exe. Remove the CALC line from your vk104.txt file and change
*Hotkey .none CALC calc.exe
to
*Hotkey ALT X calc.exe

Your multimedia keyboard should have an app for assigning the calc button to calc.exe - which should be default, anyway. You shouldn't have to impliment it through Litestep.

-_- The calc button works fine in explorer but doesn't work in LS. Have no idea why.

@Dev: What I meant was that if it is this in hotkey.rc
*Hotkey .none blah1 blah1.exe
*Hotkey .none blah2 blah2.exe
etc.

then when I press x blah1.exe is opened. Then if I press blah1 on the keyboard, blah1.exe is also opened. If the first line was commented, then it would happen to the second line.

canuck_kat. Make sure the keyboard software isn't running that normally handles the special keys under explorer. It'll interfere with jkey. Also, similiar topics have been discussed previously in the forum.
