2 Stroke bindkey or state machine bindkey application

bharath2k4

Hi ,

 

 I remember using 2 stroke bindkey previously in IC5.14. Now I have moved, and currently using IC6.1.5 version Will the state machine  or 2 stroke bindkey work?

example of a 2 storke bindkey:

1. Press key<a>,

2. It expects one more key/stroke to complete a bindkey operation

 

Press key <a> and

if we press  <q> - say move

if we press <w> - say  copy

<e> - say rotate and so on..

 

like wise , This is not pressing 2 keys at a time, but one after the other 

<q><a> - rotate;

<q><s> - operation2;

<q><d> -operation3;

<q><f> -operation4 

 

I am not sure if I am understandable, Pardon me if I am not. I can explain again.

 

Thanks,

Bharath

  • My guess is that you didn't also call:

     abSeqBindKey->initBindKeys("Layout")

    You must do this to initialize the system. Without this, any registered key sequences will have no effect - this redefines all the letter and number keys to call this system. That's why you didn't get any errors, because the registered key sequence was never triggered. I did both the initBindKeys and the "fit" definition shown above, and it then worked fine in IC613. 

    The .ils suffix is required because the code is SKILL++ code; it takes advantage of lexical scoping to allow local functions and data, and this will not work with a .il suffix.

    I did not try a "state machine" type approach. I think this would be more complex to implement (at least more complex to maintain and register particular key sequences, potentially).
