Need help with not existent key

[keteflips]

Hi all.

I have a GK61 and I dont have the <> ( lessthan greaterthan) keys in my keyboard. I want to map this keys to a layer but in the "dumpkeys" I dont have the keys.

How I can make this to work?

Thanks all for your job.

I think you'll need to use a macro for that as <> are only accessible via the shift modifier on ,.

[Macro(LessThan)]
Press:LShift+Comma

[Macro(GreaterThan)]
Press:LShift+Period

[Layer3]
Q:Macro(LessThan)
W:Macro(GreaterThan)

That example should map <> using macros to Q/W on layer 3.

For a full list of keys see https://github.com/pixeltris/GK6X/blob/96e9c041778c9370f9bf06000d687f4873fbb468/GK6X/KeyValues.cs#L269

Thanks buts its not that easy, I don't have <> keys in my keyboard, then if I push LShift+Period I don't get it.

Its like I want to assign F13 to a key, how I can do that?

Even if you don't have the key on the keyboard that mapping should still work. An example of mapping Q to F13 on layer 3 is as follows:

[Layer3]
Q:F13

If you have comma/period, but LShift doesn't produce </>, then what does it produce?

That's the point.

I dont have the native <> key for my keyboard distribution I use a mix of spanish keycaps in a american distribution, a photo:

When I press the LShift plus </> I get ;: and with ALT plus </> I get nothing.

Thanks in advance.

Assuming your OS is set to the Latin American layout (which it sounds like it is based on your key output) then you'll want the key between LShift and Z which can be found here:

https://github.com/pixeltris/GK6X/blob/96e9c041778c9370f9bf06000d687f4873fbb468/GK6X/KeyValues.cs#L353-L356

An example of mapping Q to </> on layer 3:

[Layer3]
Q:AltBackslash

Note that when you press the key you'll get < and you'll need to hold down shift to get > as that's how that key operates under Latin American.

Alternatively set your OS keyboard layout to US and buy a US keycap set, that way you can use </> normally.
