Sorry I’m not sure what a roller is! Would this be like a rotating knob or scroll wheel? If so, they have their own inputs for “up/down” and I don’t think HID Macros has an input for it!
The best thing for using the move tool is to map the move tool to a different key than the space bar, then programming that new key to the numpad. Hope that helps!
Excellent video, but your approach doesn't appear to be capable of working for those of us who use 100% keyboards. If you use multiple keyboards, Windows treats them all as a single device, so the computer can't see any distinction between the NumPad on my keyboard and an external NumPad.
Question,after remapping a keyboard, will the functions saved to the keyboard when i use it to a different computer? Or it will only work on computer were the program is installed?
Thank you! There are Bluetooth keypads and keyboards that work with the iPad and procreate specifically, like this one: amzn.to/41VAuzU I’m not familiar with ibis paint (yet!) but I think that procreate’s macros cannot be changed from the preset ones, so it works best with the keypads with those macros already in mind.
Hey, I just found this video and its amazing... But if SHIFT is + then, what should I type for CTRL + (Zoom in) input? How do I assign + key as a normal + and not registered as modifiers SHIFT?
I've been using HID Macros for 2 years now thanks to you. :) Since we can't assign the 'Space', 'Shift', 'Alt', and 'Ctrl' keys alone on the numpad even with HID Macros, I just found out that I can use the cheap 'One-handed gaming keyboard' and combine it with HID Macros. It works perfectly for me because it has the 'Space', 'Shift', 'Alt', and 'Ctrl' keys that can be used alone and 28 other keys that can be used with HID Macros, and it is still saving you space if you put it beside your tablet. That one-handed keyboard also has a wrist rest ( plastic, but it is okay for me ). I hope this will help you~ Sorry for the bad grammar, but I hope you still understand what I mean. :)
Hello there! Are you still using hid program with the 1-hand keyboard? And how does it feel? Im curious since i want to use ctrl and shift in my workflow
@@meilna7644 it still feels good, although the keys start to shine over time... But it is still functioning well and I'm still using HID Macros! :) But I have switched to a normal-sized keyboard because I got a 'monitor arm' that supports my pen display. I still recommend it though because it still saves your desk space. :)
@@4q1lz thats awesome to hear! im looking at both normal keyboard (since i use laptop, reaching out for shortcut key is hard) and keypad again xD May I ask what monitor arm that you are using right now? and the model of your 1 hand keyboard?
Thank you for you comment. By any chance do you know if in parentheses or ( ) this and plus minus keyboard can be assign as keys alone in keypad? Also it's been a while since I drawing, when you drawing what is only ctrl & alt keypad for when drawing?
@@Lemonberrys Thank you for your questions. :) 1. Sorry, I don't quite understand your first question. Do you mean: '() And + -' or ' (+ and )-' or '(+) and (-)' Can you specify the shortcut for me? But if you meant for rotation ( '+' and '-' ) (-) For left rotation (+) For right rotation You can't apply both of them at the same key, you need to have 1 ley for each of them. However, if you're using Clip Studio Paint, there is a setting in the 'File > Modifier Key setting'. There, you can set 'Ctrl+Space' for rotation ( press both of them at the same time and use your pen to rotate the canvas. ) But if you're not meant for rotation, please tell me. I'm not good at explaining, but I will try my best. :D 2. As I said above, the CTRL, SHIFT, ALT, and SPACE can be used as modifier keys in Clip Studio Paint. :)
extremely sorry but HID Macros is utterly useless can't use cant assign only Alt, Ctrl, and shift to my Numpad. It needs an additional letter (alphabetic) after like "^a or %b or +c" it does not allow you to use your alt ctrl or shift key only like this "^ % +" so for programs like ps or zbrush, it is really useless. can only assign simples tools nothing else
Hi there, i know its been a while since you've made this video, but i was wondering if you knew where to get the teal keypad in the video specifically? The link you provided in the descr seems to show a different now. I was thinking maybe the merchant/vendor changed models, but just wanted to double check
I imagine you are tired of revisiting this vid but I just thought I'd give you a heads up- 1. The link for the numpad has changed to a mac pad. 2. Something I realized a few years back after purchasing a different numpad that some won't work. Wish I could say what makes them different, seems like it registers different keys in HID but still doesn't acknowledge them, like you click and it shows something different and then it goes back. (it has an extra row of keys at the top with calculator shortcut and some other stuff, that might be why it doesn't work.) All that bein said, I appreciate ya havin made this video cause it's dramatically increased my work flow for years now, and still recommend it to people.
Hi! Your tutorial worked so well! Was just wondering how did you set your keybind to Space? It shows up for a second before going back to my previous tool, making it unusable :(
Thanks! Since "space" is technically a modifier key it cannot be changed. I suggest going in to the keyboard shortcuts in your program you want to use it on and set your desired shortcut to "space" and it will work just the same!
@@raynabehl Thanks! One more thing, everytime I use my normal keyboard/mouse, the program stops picking up my keypad (so I need to reopen it again). Is there a solution for that by any chance? Thanks!
@@LittleNinjaJasmin hmm that one is odd, only thing I know is that you need to keep hidmacros open if you want to use it, once it’s closed the keybindings are turned off. Maybe try running hidmacros as administrator? I hope that helps!
Spent 4 hours trying to figure out this dinky little program, most of the tutorials are ass, to advanced for simple stuff like keys, but not this one. Thank You so much :D One thing to note that kept screwing things up, lots of programs don't seem to like capital letters (like ctrl+c works, but not ctrl+C) Also can't seam to get multiple key commands to work, like Shift+UP, not sure why?
this thing's been gathering dust for the past five years. Thought now would be a good time to actually unbox it and play around with it. I only want it for handwriting to text in Powerpoint. Thanks for the review - the first grown-up one I've encountered on here. Outstanding drawing too.
It's fine if you want to moderate comments on old videos by default. and you should follow your preferred channel style. I just think you are leaving a ton of views and money on the table by ignoring commercially lucrative ideas. But the best channels are usually the ones that don't chase views.
