Hardware / Re: Keyboard Macro Keys, Help?

Last post by Ze_Mind - November 30, 2023, 04:54:21 PM

I even ran xev, and although the letter keys showed up, the G1-G6 keys never registered.

I feel that Linux can't touch those keys. I mean possibly they can, but I have to do a lot of digging, and really isn't worth it.

I'm not mad, like throwing the keyboard out the window. It is a very nice keyboard. I just might take the G# keys off and just put some duct tape over it so I don't accidentally hit it.

Edit: The above is for gamepads.. :)

Yeah, I have contrib and non-free

I have those two programs already installed.

Input Remapper doesn't work.

The macro keys are set to the F1-F6 keys. But I do not know how to change these.

https://github.com/AntiMicroX/antimicrox/

AntiMicroX is a graphical program used to map gamepad keys to keyboard, mouse, scripts and macros. You can use this program to control any desktop application with a gamepad on Linux🐧 and Windows 🪟.
It can be also used for generating SDL2 configuration (useful for mapping atypical gamepads to generic ones like xbox360).

Maybe something like that will help.

I now just guessing.

Do you have enabled repository contrib and non-free ?

It maybe with wine emulator i enabled that by sudo dpkg --add-architecture  i386

Find xserver-xorg-input-kbd and install or  xserver-xorg-input-libinput.

Then test again input remapper.

Good luck.

https://download.videolan.org/pub/videolan/vlc/3.0.20/


sudo apt-get install git g++ make libtool automake autopoint pkg-config flex bison

Unpack .xz archive somewhere install libraries:

sudo apt-get install libdbus-1-dev libmad0-dev libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev liba52-0.7.4-dev  libxcb1-dev libxcb-shm0-dev libxcb-xv0-dev libx11-xcb-dev libgcrypt20-dev liblua5.2-dev libxcb-composite0-dev libssl-dev libxcb-randr0-dev

Navigate to folder in terminal  by cd example: cd vlc then write  ./configure

Last step is write  make.

If you want  install it write sudo make install.

And thats all.

I will also write how to install codecs to compile with vlc also fix this guide if there is a problem.

Reedition from: https://staff.itee.uq.edu.au/ksb/howto/vlc-howto.html

Few codecs was taken from: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Compiling%20MPlayer

You can also run without installing by write ./vlc

I did try "Input Remapper" but it keeps saying "The device was not grabbed"

Functional macro keys use fn+ button so press any "special" key like volume up with fn.

And it should be detected.

fn + G1 (macro key) didn't work. I tested, and it does however work with my mouse and XBOX controller.

I was find that i hope thats help you:https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper/

An easy to use tool to change the behaviour of your input devices.
Supports X11, Wayland, combinations, programmable macros, joysticks, wheels,
triggers, keys, mouse-movements and more. Maps any input to any other input.

Direct link:https://github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper/releases/download/2.0.0/input-remapper-2.0.0.deb

So you have that ?

And search for xorg-input its a keyboard driver/library.
