Hi - Fairly new to macros here.
I am simply trying to remap several keys on my second keyboard. It seems like the way to do this is to make a macro, then assign it to a hotkey.
Under the QM Keyboard & Mouse Detector, I checked Use Multiple Keyboards, then associated my second keyboard with FF_Keyboard2.
I also made sure that "Use low level keyboard hook" was unchecked under QM's Options (Trigger tab).
An an example, when I press a on my second keyboard, I want it to type x.
First, I wrote this simple macro:
;;PRESS x KEY
key x
Then in the macro properties, under Trigger, I assigned the macro to hotkey a. I click the "FF" button, click "Use", and select FF_Keyboard2 from the drop-down list.
I then compile the script.
However, the macro is not working as I want it to. When I press a on my second keyboard, the screen still displays a, not x, as I want it to.
My computer only has one cpu. But I use it mainly for the internet and word processing - I don't run any super intensive programs like graphic, video, music, etc.
I'm wondering if I am missing something?
