RR 03-12-05 .. Keyboard Support ...

**guino** · 03-12-2005, 12:19 AM

Ok, I've added keyboard support.. it's very flexible, BUT I will not post many details until I make the config tool (or a separate app) to configure the keyboard keys. Here're the changes:

- Added Full Native Keyboard Support
- Improved AVS plugin to remove its borders
- Fixed Current Song display in playlist bug
- Fixed 60Hz Save/Load Preset bug
- Fixed Girder use of Select/+/Browse/Back in launch screen
- Fixed Issue with first folder list display

Keyboard support right now (without the configuration fiile), is limited to these functions:

-LEFT/RIGHT Arrow keys move around the objects (Buttons, Sliders, Playlist, Folder List).
-UP/DOWN go to prev/next item in the list (when Playlist or folder list is selected), and increase/decrease slider values when a slider is selected.
-ENTER Executes the button currently selected (or the item selected in playlist/folder list)
-ESQ Exits the current screen (same as the "CANCEL" command)
-PGUP/PGDDOWN scroll through the playlist/folder list (if any) even if not selected

It is possible to create keyboard shortcuts for ANY skin command, I will publish documentation and a config tool later... I also have to improve keyboard use when an application or VIS. is embbeded (those typically "hijack" the keyboard, so i have to see about it).

Although I have improved support for the AVS plugin, Istill don't really recommend it.. but if you're going to use it anyway, I suggest to use the "USE Full Screen overlay mode" option in the AVS plugin -- it is faster and causes less problems.

Other than that, let me know of any bugs you find.. I will still improve on keyboard support for a few things, so please don't complain about it just yet.

Thanks,
Guino.

First things first...

**Chita79** · 03-12-2005, 01:02 AM

is it next on your "to-do" list?

hey the border thing is alittle buggy. like the window moves, but the borders stay where they were before...not everytime, but sometimes. Is there anyway to make the vis window pop up where it's going to stay instead of popping up below and to the right and then popping up again in the window?

Finally!! I can't wait more for this feature!! Many many many thanks Guino.
One thing : I've tryed (without success) the function UP/DOWN go to prev/next; Tryed with various skin.....
What's appening?

AVS plugin don't work correctly.
In audio player if and open AVS, the volume control and stopped, every time that pushes him an any button in the skin, the AVD display doubles to the left aloft him for a pair of seconds of the screen, then returns ok.
I have setting the Winamp\Options\Settings\AVS plugin for displayed in Full mode.
Milkdrop work very slow, infact I use AVS( Epia V8000 MB, 512MB memory)

In the new version embedded Milkdrop isn't working any more. I don't have changed anything. "Integrate in winamp" is off. Perhaps you can have a look on this?!

This is a little different than MC.. left/right will go to next/prev BUTTON or CONTROL (it does not do next/prev SONG). same as up/down will scroll up/down list or slider but that means the CURRENT ONE. I'll post later how to assign the exact command to a key (so if you want it to be like MC, you will be able to do it). I don't want to post how to do it without making a little helper tool..

I'll look at it... The AVS has always been buggy too, I'll have to see what I can do about it..
