Prevent sending repeated keystokes?

Post by xpclient »

I am running the latest XMBC 2.19.2 on Windows 10 Enterprise 1803.

My mouse has a tilt wheel which works with XMBC.

For tilt left, I wanna assign: Send keys {CTRL}{LMB}
For tilt right, I wanna assign: {CTRL}W

However it is so sensitive that when I press actually do tilt left, it opens the same link multiple times. Similarly if I tilt right, it closes multiple tabs that are open.

How do I make it send the keystokes only once and then not repeat them so fast again?

I tried {WAIT:2} but that just delays it but still sends the keystrokes after the waiting period. How do I send the keystroke just once and then completely block it for few seconds until I press tilt left/right again?

Try Ignore repeated remapped horizontal scroll on the profile options tab (you may have to play with the time (milliseconds) too to find the optimal solution.

My solution was switching to Layer 2 after the button press.

Code: Select all

Simulated Keys: (pressed)[{UP}{LAYER:2}]
And then on the Layer 2 settings, I checked Switch to Layer 1 after 1 seconds.

But maybe I should try phil's suggestion. Thanks for the idea.

Actually ignore my crude solution. After doing additional testing, phil's suggestion was more elegant. Thanks again.
