Any luck with ring_keyPress to emulate Ableton keypresses?

[TomSwirly]

I got it sort of working - I could generate keypresses for other programs to see - but it failed to work on Ableton.

The author has been hard to find but did post here once before...

Hi:

I have successfully used ring_keyPress with Ableton. My first suggestion would be to make sure that the Ableton application has 'focus', otherwise the keystrokes could be going to some other application. And also some of the codes are not quite intuitive to me. For example:

! = 16 49
@ = 16 50

Maybe stick with regular ASCII characters?:

1 = 49
etc.

Good luck,

no problems with aka.keyboard here. But in max. I didn't try in m4l.

I've been sure that the program had focus... and I was trying to emit the key "a" (as in lower-case a).

I'm on Mac/OS 10.6 - anyone using this on Mac?

Ha,

I have the same problem, they key number are not what the should be.... The "best" thing to do is try every number and monitor with a text editor....
mac OS 10.6 too. (but with aka.keyboard object)

Hey guys!

I developed ring_keyPress because I'm on windows and there's no aka.keyboard on windows.

So ring_keyPress is a solution for a problem that you simply don't have on mac!
