Keyboard Shortcuts

Beast · 10-01-2009, 09:45 PM

Do they work in Vista? I'm trying to use them to open a shortcut, but I can't seem to get it to work. It might be my keyboard though, which is a Logitech G11, which has a bunch of G keys on the side I could use for that. I want it on the regular keys though so I can map it to buttons on my controller.

Anything outside the standard would probably require some type of third-party software, no matter what operating system you are using.

Thanks.

Alt-f4 will give you a SoJ

What do you MEAN by a KEYBOARD SHORTCUT

Beast · 10-02-2009, 04:38 PM

I'm pretty sure my first post explained that.

AR-Raven · 10-02-2009, 04:48 PM

Do you mean you are EDITING A SHORTCUT TO GIVE IT A GLOBAL KEY BIND with FUNKY CUSTOM KEYBOARD KEYS

Beast · 10-02-2009, 04:54 PM

You don't have to capitalize everything. But yes, that is what I meant.

Slime · 10-02-2009, 05:25 PM

I tried this too. It didn't work for me. Let me know if you get it working.

Beast · 10-02-2009, 05:42 PM

What kind of keyboard are you using?

Slime · 10-02-2009, 05:49 PM

Should that matter? I'm assigning stuff to simple shortcuts like CTRL-SHIFT-Z or something, and it can't understand them, but it understands them fine when I'm TELLING it what the command should be. WTF

But I'm on a Dell keyboard.

Beast · 10-02-2009, 05:59 PM

CTRL-SHIFT-Z is a common undo command. I don't know if that matters.

Slime · 10-02-2009, 06:03 PM

Umm, yeah. I stopped using CTRL-SHIFT and it works now. Got some sweet CTRL-ALT shortcuts set up now. Thanks

I just got that for myself, and that works perfectly for everything I need.

Beast · 10-02-2009, 07:40 PM

Oops. I already had CTRL-ALT-SHIFT+S mapped to a button and downloaded that and then added what I needed. Apparently that command is used to automatically shutdown your computer.

Have you not got the software cd for the keyboard? Could probably download it off the website

Beast · 10-07-2009, 06:31 PM

Not I do, and all the G keys I have work perfectly. All regular shortcut keys work just fine. But for whatever reason, shortcuts to open programs via shortcut don't work with it.
