First of all, tnx for your great software. please add other functions like increase/decrease of LCD light and also increase/decrease of the keyboard backlight.

@mohseniri Thanks for commenting!

Yes, I can add the functionality to change the brightness of a screen but, I don't think it is possible to change the Keyboard backlight as it's a hardware dependent functionality.

In any case -- I will look into it :)

Tnx a lot. If you add another editbox in front of each fn key that allows user to define hex code manually, then we can extract our predefined code depend on our laptop model. 🙏

okkosh commented 3 years ago

Yeah, I can do that. Thanks!

okkosh commented 3 years ago

@mohseniri You can define the custom hex inside the provided editbox just start your custom hex with sc (Scan code) e.g. if you would like to use a custom scan code of 231 -> write it as sc231 in-front of that key and you are good to go.

Let me know if it works. Thanks!

you were right. I try to find hex code produced by these keys. I write a keylogger using c#, but I only capture predefined keys. Unfortunately, these extra function didn't seem to be sent programmatically.

Hi... Let me just say this script is amazing so far. I don't understand though... How to add custom functions? I'm trying to add the Windows Task View, but I'm failing catastrophically. As I understand it, the key combination should be written as LWinTab or #Tab, although it doesn't seem to work at all. If I just type in LWin or RWin it's no problem, the command is understood and I can successfully remap my F3 key that way. I guess I'm missing something. How to add a custom shortcut?

Just wanted to second the interest in controlling the brightness. After so many years looking I finally found something that allows me to lock Fn n my laptop, thanks a lot!

okkosh commented 3 years ago

The feature is implemented in v1.0 beta . Please test and let me know if it works as expected on your machines :)

Gulduur commented 3 years ago

Fantastic, it is working as expected here. Thank you so much!

@okkosh Did you get a chance to look into backlight brightness? I'm using the Logitech MX keyboard and I'd love to see it added.
