Launching a Macro from an External Keyboard
This is my favorite tweek. It works with PenCommander and MortRunner Macros. My example will be for PenCommander macros but minor modifications are needed to use MortRunner. The following works just fine with a Dell Axim X30 mid using a ThinkOutside Bluetooth Keyboard:
1. Use a registry editor to go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/SHELL/KEYS
2. Use your registry editor to add a new key. Name it the number of the keyboard letter or number you want to use to launch a program (e.g. 4043 for letter "C") . See below for a list of codes for keyboard keys.
3. Use your registry editor to add a new string value. The name of the string value should be "default". The value data should be a path to your PenCommander with a switch to your desired macro such as "\Built-in Storage\PhatWare CalliGrapher\PenCmd.exe" /m cc, this launches my OPClip macro to copy my selected data to a common clip board when I hit Win+C.
4. Pure joy. Now I just need a macro to do this for me automatically and life will be bliss.
