hot keys (/tag/type-id/categorytechnology/keyw ord-hot+keys/)

Products like the X-Keys programmable keypads are a great companion for
anyone who uses hot-key heavy software like PhotoShop. They allow you to lay out
all your hot keys on one small board complete with labels and with a push of a
button activate any macro or keystroke programmed into the software.
But those products cost in excess of $100.00 even for the basic model. If you live
overseas the cost of importing and the US Dollar exchange rate can balloon the
price and make the products far too expensive.
It's possible to create your own custom macro pad with a basic USB number pad
for much less cost. You can easily pick these up on ebay for under $10.

I am creating a pad for PhotoShop.

I created a draft layout of paper to decide what functions I needed and where they
should be. You can do this easily in Excel too. Put effort into this part so that you
don't have to rip off your labels and do them again because you forgot a function.
Google image search each function you desire. I used terms like "fill bucket icon"
and "brush icon", etc. In no time you will have a collection of all your buttons.
If you don't have photoshop this part will be hard for you to create, so I have
attached a pre-made sheet sezed for A4 paper at 300dpi suitible for keys up to
13mm high by 12mm wide. Printing full size at native dpi will result in correctly
sized labels.

Step 2: Print and cutout your custom labels

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FVP/1UYP/I760QKUS/FVP1UYPI760QKUS.LARGE.jpg)

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FF7/HAEA/I760QKV8/FF7HAEAI760QKV8.LARGE.jpg)

Print a test label sheet and cut out one label to make sure that it fits your keys
perfectly.
When you're satisfied that the labels have printed correctly, print a new sheet and
cover each row of labels with tape.
The tape will provide a durable surface to press and protect the label.
The best tape for this is the invisible kind which is often marketed as being able to
be written on, non reflective and invisible. Normal tape (the cheap shiny stuff) is no
(http://cdn.instructables.com/F6X/NIPL/I760QKVW/F6XNIPLI760QKVW.LARGE.jpg)
good because
over time it will yellow and peel. Invisible tape doesn't suffer from this
problem.
Using your fingernail, rub firmly over the tape to make it stick properly. You'll see
the blacks get darker as you do this.
Use a ruler and blade to carefully cut out the labels. Scissors can be used but it's
harder to do.
Note:
I used a laser printer for my labels; I'm not sure how ink will react to glue. I'm sure it
will be fine but if the results are unsatisfactory, take your image file to your local
print shop and get them to print it for you. You may also choose to have them
laminate the page for you instead of you using sticky tape. Get 2 sheets printed;
one to laminate and one not, and experiment.

Step 3: Attach your custom labels

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FJP/2R7Y/I760QKWF/FJP2R7YI760QKWF.LARGE.jpg)

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FBR/V5XJ/I760QKY8/FBRV5XJI760QKY8.LARGE.jpg)

Use a paintbrush to apply an even layer of PVA glue to one key and carefully place
one label that you've cut out on the glue lightly. Position, then press.
Do this one key at a time.
PVA glue sticks to paper very well and will set almost instantly to try to position it
perfectly before pressing. Once pressed you may not be able to reposition the
label.
The layer of PVA that you apply shouldn't be too thin because the paper will soak it
up. The layer should be thin but opaque. If it just makes the key look wet, the layer
is too thin.
Your labels should not overlap the keys or they will peel off with use. See images.
PVA glue shrinks and sets clear so it's OK to leave any excess that oozes out. It will
disappear when it's dry leaving a shiny film. You may like to seal the edges of your
labels by brushing lightly some PVA glue around the edges of each label.
Your keyboard is now complete.
Next: software...

Step 4: Getting your keypad working.

HID Macros is the software we will need to get everything working.

http://www.hidmacros.eu/ (http://www.hidmacros.eu/)
This is the only macro software that comes ready to use with the ability to take
commands from ONE specified keyboard while ignoring another.
This means you can command macros with the numbers on your USB number pad
without having them activate when you press numbers on your main keyboard.
Other software may be able to accomplish this, but not without much tinkering and
reading of forums.
HID Macros was designed especially for this purpose and performs the task
perfectly.
Attached to this page is a ready to use installation of it complete with macros for
photoshop mapped to the labels shown in these photos. You can use it as a guide.
This software runs without installation. Simply download the ZIP file, unpack it and
move the folder to a location of your choosing. Recommended folder to put it in is
C:\Program Files. Right-click the program and "send to" "desktop" to make a
shortcut.

HidMacros.zip

(/files/orig/F1S/0QFC/I760QPZW/F1S0QFCI760QPZW.zip)1004 KB

Step 5: Setting up HID Macros from the beginning

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FN3/B2C6/I760T1HH/FN3B2C6I760T1HH.LARGE.jpg)

Plug in your keypad first, then start HIDmacros.

(Note: If you get an error upon launching the software, please follow the guide later
in this instructional.)
For this example, I will program the number 7 key on my pad to send the letter b
when it is pressed, which is the keyboard shortcut for Brush in Photoshop.
Refer to the screenshot above for details on the following instruction.
Click New and then type a name for your new command. I type the word Brush.
Now click the Scan button in HIDmacros then press the button you want to program
on your keypad. The number 7 key.
HIDmacros now knows what button to program and from which particular keyboard.

Now you can specify the action by choosing "Send keyboard sequence" and
typing the letter b in the text box.
Click Save Configuration and you can now test the macro.
Any time you press 7 on your number pad, the letter b should be typed by the
computer in any application.
Note: HIDmacros is not application specific. An easy workaround is required to
make this happen. More on this later in the instructional.

Step 6: Adding and removing devices.

(http://cdn.instructables.com/F7A/BI1O/I760QQT0/F7ABI1OI760QQT0.LARGE.jpg)

HIDmacros can tell which keyboard you want to you and store different macros for
each device.
If you add or remove a keyboard device your macros may end up being moved to
another device against your wishes. This is unlikely but it can happen.
No need to worry though, you can easily transfer your macros from one device to
another.
See the screenshot above.
The device list tells you how many macros are associated with each device. Click
on the device which has the macros then click Move macros and select the device
you want to move the macros to.
If you're not sure which device your number pad is, click on the Macros tab and
push any key on your pad and the Test Area will tell you which device it is. Don't
be alarmed if it says your keyboard is a mouse, it can happen.

Step 7: Notes on HID Macros

If upon launching the software for the first time you're faced with an error message,
try right clicking the program and clicking on "Troubleshoot compatibility" and follow
Windows' suggestions. I run Windows 8.1 and had issues running for the first time.
After following the above instruction everything worked fine.

Modifier keys can be added to your macros to simulate Ctrl+S for example. Please
refer to the help file in HID Macros, it features a complete list of commands such
as...
+ = Shift
^ = Control
% = Alt
& = Tab
You can even program mouse movements. More info on this page
http://www.hidmacros.eu/scripting.php (http://www.hidmacros.eu/scripting.php)

Step 8: Notes about your number pad.

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FJZ/11LP/I760QKXW/FJZ11LPI760QKXW.LARGE.jpg)

Your number pad (like any) features a number Lock which allows you to change
the function of 10 keys. You can take advantage of this to add another 10 macros
to your pad.
I use this feature so that I can use the same button functions under another
program.
You must strategically place your labels to take advantage of this by putting labels
such as Brush on one of these 10 keys. PhotoShop and ArtRage both have Brush
tools but use different hot-keys to activate.
So I placed common tools for both programs on the 10 keys so that in Photoshop I
have number lock on and Artrage number lock off.
Alternatively, you can keep multiple installations of HIDmacros and program each
differently
Make a copy of the HIDmacros program folder and label each for each program
and program your macros independently.
Also:
Your number pad may feature a "000" key. This key will mimic any macro you
have assigned to the 0 key and press it 3 times quickly. I have assigned Undo to
key 0 and so pressing the 000 key activates undo 3 times, which can be useful.
This si why there is another Undo label with a 3x written on it.

This is very interesting. I'm thinking that this trick may be extended to an external
keyboard to be used for example with autocad or even photoshop,
considering that such devices cost hundreds dollars. From what I can understand
HIDmacros is not able to save different macro configurations, or profiles
("Photoshop", "Autocad"), for the same device. This could be the killing feature.

HIDmacros is not application specific, as you mention. However, because

software, you may have multiple installations of it; one for
each program you use and launch only the instance you need for the
software you're using at the time. Just make a copy of the program folder,
rename it, reconfigure it and create a shortcut to it labels for the software
you're config'd it for.

The heart of this instructable is the software I

mention and show you how to use. If you don't use
HIDmacros, then it will do as you say, and that's no
good. You must use HIDmacros for it to work. If you
already use other macro software that's OK,
HIDmacros can work along side it and even be
used to activate other macros you already use.

Thank you for this i'ble. As a typographer, I often need non-keyboard characters
to be hunted up in the character map using copy and paste. This
would enable the labeling and self-entry of those awkward ALT 0230 keystrokes
without having to hope that one has remembered the right number. I'll be digging
out keypads that I previously had gathered and wasn't sure how to put them to
good use.

Remember: If HIDmacros cannot produce the exact macro that you need,
it can be used to activate other more advanced macro software by having

For AltGr characters I expect this would need to be done because I doubt

Yes. But...
(/member/johnofe/)

I attempted to get HIDmacros to dish out Alt0230 but as expected it

couldn't, no matter what I tried. However, I also run Phrase Express on my
computer for complex tasks and loaded that special character to be
activated by Ctrl+Shift+A (for example. You can use anything) and
programmed HIDmacros to send that key combo when I press a button of
my choosing on the number pad. It works. I press 7 on my pad,
HIDmacros sends Ctrl+Shift+A to the computer and Phrase Express sees
that and inputs .
So for complex key presses, you need another macro program for
HIDmacros to activate using simpler key combos.
It's certainly possible to do what you need, but you must use a second
program on top of HIDmacros. I love Phrase Express.

Yes. HIDmacros can send almost any keys (or a script containing many

Although I suck at Photoshop, I have had one of those USB numeric keypads that
whim, and used once or twice. I also have a few extra full KB's
sitting around doing nothing. So when I saw this I realized the potential. Perhaps
first I'll try it for Adobe Premier and go from there for the key shortcuts. Another
option for key labels would be to get a weatherproof polyester laser label, do a
search for Product OL2050 - 0.5" x 0.5" Small Square Labels, and you should
find a few sources. I use a laser printer to make larger labels using that material.
Eventually the toner does scratch off, but when that happens you'll be able to stick
a replacement on quickly.

Sounds good. What about putting tape over the labels you described to

with the idea of using dymo labels (thermal-laimated cassette ) but that's
only good for text, but they're very tough and sticky.

I did some follow up today. I'd forgotten you can get those same labels in
that means you have the alternative of using Inkjet stock
as well as weatherproof stock to print on, and then you can 'seal' it. For
example, you can print on regular matte or gloss with Laser or Inkjet, and
then place the same .5"x.5" clear label over top to 'seal' it. So even if you
do use the weatherproof your can stick the clear over the top to protect it.
So you are using two sheets of labels that are identical in size but
different material. You print on the first, then place the clear label over the
top when it has been put on the key. This does open up the option of
using non-weatherproof label material such as paper matte or gloss, and
also would allow for the use of an Inkjet printer as well.

clear as well. So

I'm sure you agree that while a software solution isn't as interesting as

Now if you can make several icon sets so that they are replaceable, and you can
create several profile settings, you could program the device for any purpose.
Changing the profile setting then changing your icon buttons and the device then
works for a totally different program.

Since the number keyboards only cost like $5 each (ebay) you might as
with replaceable label sets, just have a whole
different keypad for each use. They're so cheap its not even worth
bothering with removal labels. But a bunch of them and customise each.
You can even have them all plugged in at the same time because
HIDmacros can tell the difference and let you program them all
independently at the same time. I've got two going at the same time
myself. One for editing and one for drawing tools.
