PC utility to generating keyboard shortcuts?

This is wonderful! The window resize and move script alone is worth tons!

I'm wondering how hard it might be to script the long-desired scroll-wheel-to-zoom function.

Will have a look at that tomorrow.

I posted to the general forum because I made some breakthroughs (with a lot of help) with the scripting language from which I think a lot of people might benefit. Check it out...

I can't find a Mac program that supports VISCA-protocol video camera control, so I'm using a PC to control two cameras that feed live video to projector screens, but the rather basic software only responds to mouse clicks.

Is there a utility to map a particular area of the screen to a keyboard shortcut? For example, I have 8 preset pan/tilt/zoom positions for two cameras, each selected with a radio button. I'd love to be able to assign those radio buttons to keystrokes, which could then be automated from Live (beatmatched camera control!), or played manually.

Thanks!

yeah I think autohotkeys will do that as well, if im not mistaken, Hambone.

Yep... awesome!

Thanks, dude!

Fantastic! Got Autohotkeys mapping ASCII keystrokes to the radio buttons to control the cameras.

Can I also use Bome MIDI Translator at the same time to convert incoming MIDI notes to the keystrokes that Autohotkeys uses to trigger the radio buttons?

One step away from Live-controlled cameras...

I can't see why not, bro.

It works fine this way.

I remember a guy who controlled his light equipment this way.
