Q on keyboard handling in LavishGUI

hendar · Post by **hendar** » Wed Mar 25, 2015 10:38 am

I'm dusting off some scripts I"ve used, and trying to improve them as I go along. I have one UI which has a lot of buttons, and I was wondering if there was some way to bind these to keyboard keypresses.

For example, I load a ui "ui -reload uiname"
This brings up a window with multiple button controls. These by default have mouse handlers (onleftclick,onrightclick).

Is there some way I can associate a keypress with each button?
When I press 'A' then the first button is pressed, etc.

The reason I ask is that I bought a G13 and would like to integrate it into this form. In other words, eventually assign a G key to a UI button/event.

PS: Is there a way I can change my forum name?

I would really like LavishScript questions kept to ismods.com still.

Is there some way I can associate a keypress with each button?

No there is nothing built into LavishGUI to associate that, but yes of course you can use the bind command to do it.

Code: Select all

bind my-binding g13-g1 UIElement[xyz]&#58;LeftClick

This is more or less how ISBoxer's menu management script attaches a list of hotkeys to UI buttons.

You can turn bindings like this on and off in MouseEnter/MouseExit if you want per-button bindings

PS: Is there a way I can change my forum name?

If you want to also use a different name to log into the software, yes. Otherwise we can change your forum name on ismods.com and you can ask your LS questions there as we have before

Thanks Lax, sorry about the forum. It has been a while since I've asked a question.

And thanks for the answer. I'll head over there.
