G510s for Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon #14

Closed NBGladbach closed 4 years ago

Hello,

at first sorry for my bad english :)

I´ve installed the PPA and in the beginning everything worked. After a few restarts, however, no more. The keyboard shows the G510s logo again and the software no longer starts. If I then try to write something, the key (e.g. B) remains permanently active and the keyboard stops responding.

Is it because of my Linux version or have I made any mistakes?

I am new to Linux and I am not very familiar with it.

Verify you have G510s installed.

apt policy g510s

If it is not installed, install it.

sudo apt install g510s

If it is installed, run it.

g510s

Ok thank you very much, but how can I write any G-Macros? Alt/F4 for example?

vividnightmare commented 4 years ago

You write your "macros" using X11 tools and then use G510s to execute the commands.

For example, I would use xdotool key alt+F2 to open a command prompt. To do this with G510s, you would enter this for one of your G keys in the GUI.

Be sure to end your commands with & to run them in the background and don't forget to save your settings in G510s.

If you want more detailed command strings, you'll need to write your own scripts.
