You can configure the following Actions:
Action Type: The Action Type states what type of action will happen when you press the selected button. The following is a list of available action
types and what they do:
Keystroke: This action type allows you to control an application by pressing a key or combination of keys on your keyboard. Most application
settings use Keystroke type actions to control specific actions within that application (i.e. space bar tells the QuickTime player to play the selected
audio file). Within the Keystroke action settings, you can turn ON/OFF the Advanced check box to display the modifiers (i.e. SHIFT, ALT, etc.) as
well as the keycodes for the keystroke combination that was entered.
Launch: This action allows you to open any file or application by pressing a button. This action is useful if you want a button on the remote to
always open a certain media player or application.
AppleScript (Mac Only): This action allows you run an AppleScript script file when you press the selected button.
System Volume: This action allows you to change the system volume level (this is different from the volume control in a specific applications -
System Volume controls the volume level of all sounds coming out of your computer). You set the volume to a specific level, change the volume level
in increments (up or down), fade in/out the volume, and mute the system volume ON, OFF, or toggle between ON and OFF.
Text String: This action allows you to send a string of up to 16 characters.
Cycle Application (Windows Only): This action will present a dialog box allowing you to switch between any open applications. This command is
equivalent to pressing ALT+ESC on your keyboard.
Mouse: This action allows you to configure a button to control the mouse cursor on your screen. You can specify a button to the mouse cursor to
move UP, DOWN, LEFT, or RIGHT. You can also configure a button to perform a single or double mouse click using the left mouse button (this is
standard click on a single button mouse) or the right button.
No Action: This action does not perform any action. Use this action type if you want to “disable” the selected button in the settings that you are
using.
To save your changes, you must close the Map Editor window. When you close the window a dialog box asking whether or not want you want to save
your changes. Click the Save button to save your changes. Once you save your changes, the Keyspan Remote software will reset itself to use your
new settings.
Notes:
Applications List: When you select your Application from the Applications List, you are simply selecting the Map for that Application. The changes you make to the button only affect that Map.
For example, if you change the PLAY button in the PowerPoint Map, the PLAY button will only change for PowerPoint.
Global Map: If you want to make a button that is used across all Maps in the Applications list, first select GLOBAL MAP. Change your button setting. Then select VIEW BY: Button. This will
change the Application’s List to Button List. In the Button List select your the button that you modified. You will now see the settings for the selected button across all your Maps. At this point,
you can select each button and click the Use Global Action button to apply the Global setting. The Global Map cannot be disabled or removed.
Default Map: The Default Map is the group of settings that get used when Keyspan Remote software tries to control an application that doesn’t have a Map. The Default Map cannot be
disabled or removed.
Step 4 Creating maps for new applications (optional). If you’d like to control an Application that doesn’t already have a Map in the Applications
list, click on the Application list in the Keyspan Map Editor window and select Add Application from the menu.
This will open a dialog window asking you to select the application that you want to map. Select the application and you will return to the Map Editor
window. The name of your application will be already selected in the Application list. Once you see your application in the Application list, you can
configure the individual button settings as outlined in Step 3.
