keyboard tool, that solves many problems...

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi,
I had quite a lot problems with keyboard and shortcuts.
Switching between Mac and Windows can be stressing, as copy paste, etc. keys have different layout.
The same goes for different non us-keyboards (z and y key).
In 3dsmax I hit the F1 key many times as the '1' key is very important to me and I had no chance to turn Help off.

So, I found a very cool freeware tool called: AutoHotkeys (http://www.autohotkey.com)
It let you remap any key and place a script on it.
So, I moved the F1 key to F19 and I changed a view key.
Also I can now use a joystick or simulate the mouse with keys.
Mouse strockes can be added too.

I'm so happy with that, that I had to write you about that.

cheers,

robert
