Using a gamepad to trigger hotkeys
Hello,
Hope eveyone's doing fine.
I would like to know if it's possible to to trigger hotkeys from a gamepad with ISBoxer.
I believe that whatI want to do is very simple, and will not use 1/10 of ISBoxer full potential.
Essentially, I'm running multiple instances of an Atari ST emulator, Steem SSE, the plan is to have a gamepad sitting next to my keyboard that would be used to switch between active windows so I can use the mouse and keyboard to work on each window at a time and most importantly to occasionally, being able to push a button on the gamepad and then send a couple of commands from the keyboard simultaneously, at the same precise time, to all instances of the active and not active windows of the emulator.
I have tried Autohotkey, which works flawlessly for say "notepad.exe" but it will not work for the application I want to use it with. It seems to me that Autohotkeys "controlsend" command messes up with something and the application will not detect any incoming hotkey.
I have been reading and watching some youtube videos, and ISBoxer seems to be capable of doing this, but unfortunately I couldn't find any information regarding other applications other than wow, diablo and other games. The setting up also isn't the most intuitive and friendly I've seen
I'd be gladly subscribing and paying the annual fee, but would need to be sure that ISBoxer can effectly do these few little things.
If you know I could do this with ISBoxer, is there a step by step guide somewhere you could point me to?
Thanks in advance for any help.
