Hi,

I just had the idea that there could be an Output that can contain full strings that get written if the output is triggered like:


string “some words here” normal mp_center_puff


With this setup the text some words here would be pasted whenever mp_center_puff gets triggered… Idk how hard this is or if it  even makes sense…  What do you think about it?  Of course this should not be used for passwords!  But sometimes it would make things easier😅

Have you played around with auto hotkey? It could take a single keystroke and turn it into an entire sentence.

The Quadstick can output something like Ctrl-1 and that would trigger anything from a simple string to running a program.

kb_left_control, normal, mp_center_puff
kb_1, delay_on 10, mp_center_puff

Adding a short delay between the modifier keys and the character key can help if the AHK program is missing the combination.

Modifier keys are things like Left Shift, Right Shift, Left Control Right Control, Left Alt, Right Alt, Left GUI (Windows), Right GUI, that are not character keys.  They get transmitted in parallel with the character to modify the character.

With that many modifier keys and unused character keys, the combinations are effectively endless.
