Using triggers with two or more keyboards and mouses
#3
Read this if you don't know how to start using Keyboard Detector.

SETUP

1. Click the Download link. When asks to save or open, click Open. The file will be opened in QM File Viewer. Click Import. Alternatively, save the file somewhere and import it using menu File -> Import.

2. When you import the file, you will see Keyboard Detector folder at the left-bottom, and Keyboard_Detector function in it. Open the function.

3. Click the Run button on the toolbar. It starts Keyboard Detector, which is running in the background. Click Run again. It shows a dialog.

4. If you will use multiple keyboards, you need to associate them with filter functions. Read about it in the dialog. If you will use only multiple mouses, uncheck "Use multiple keyboards".

5. If you will use multiple mouses, check "Use multiple mouses" and associate mouses with filter functions.

6. When you already don't need the dialog, click Close. The dialog will disappear but Keyboard Detector will continue running. If you click Exit, Keyboard Detector will stop running. Whenever you need to access the dialog again, run Keyboard_Detector one or two times.

7. To use multiple keyboards and/or mouses, Keyboard_Detector must be running all the time. You can launch it using whatever method (Run button, some trigger, etc). To launch it automatically when QM starts, do the following. In the left pane, find item named init2. It should be in User folder. If init2 does not exist, create new function (not macro) and name it init2. Insert this code:

mac "Keyboard_Detector"


USAGE

To make a keyboard or mouse macro specific to one of devices, assign it the filter function that is associated with that device.

Example 1. Assume, you want to start a macro using F7 on your second keyboard. Open Properties, assign F7 trigger, click "Filter" button (or FF). Remember what filter function is associated with your second keyboard. Probably it is FF_Keyboard2. Check "Use", select FF_Keyboard2 from the drop-down list, click OK, OK.

Example 2. Assume, you want to start a macro using right button on your second mouse. Open Properties, assign mouse right button trigger, click "Filter" button (or FF). Remember what filter function is associated with your second mouse. Probably it is FF_Mouse2. Check "Use", select FF_Mouse2 from the drop-down list, click OK, OK.
