Mapping SHIFT to other modifiers HELP [SOLVED]

[resv]

Hi, so I have my twiddler3 front buttons to output numpads, however I cannot get SHIFT + numpads to work correctly with hotkeys as it will output the 2nd unique keys for the numpad.

My solution was to just map my SHIFT key to ALT + CTRL or WIN KEY + CTRL so that I can map my SHIFT to work with numpads

Tuner would not let me change my shift key to other modifiers like numpad1. but it is spitting out SHIFT or not working at all.

I hope I explained this better.

@resv Think of the Twiddler as an HID code sending device. The characters screened onto the buttons are just labels - they do not have to reflect what is actually being sent. One important caveat is that the modifier buttons up top, remain modifiers and only modifiers. This is why you cannot adjust them in tuner.

So, don't think about rearranging the keys to get a desired output, think about it creating a chord then assigning the desired output to that chord.

If your Twiddler is already setup so single presses on the keys give you number pad, just explicitly add the shifted versions in Tuner.

0,R000=9
S, R000 =

0,0R00=6
S,0R00=

You dont have to use the SHFT button to shift modify either. If it is more comfortable to use the ALT button map the chords like this:

0,R000=9
A, R000 = < PageUp>

0,0R00=6
A,0R00= < RightArrow>

Now pressing the ALT and number pad keys will give you the same as shifted number pad keys as they are sending the same HID Code.

Tony!!
Thank you for this detailed response.

Based on your response and reading other threads, I did try and do this.

I configured the SHIFT R000 = ALT+WINDOWS+NUMPAD. but this did not work?

Sorry if for my ignorance. I'm trying my best to understand.

Hey Tony, thanks I fixed the issue, I wasn't writing numpad!

[tony]

@resv What are you expecting LALT+LGUI+0 to output? It does nothing on my Win10.

[resv]

Actually, I'm using the twiddler to to press custom hotkeys that I made for production. I've assigned numpads with +crtl, +alt and now +shift(alt+win) to change or activate things on my computer.

That makes a difference as it sends a different HID code. I always like this image as it shows what your keyboard looks like to your OS and the HID codes they send:

Should I remap my twidder to use HID codes instead of ?

[tony]

@resv You can. The results will be the same.
