Hi,

the "Keyboard / GPI Mapping" menu provides the definition of shortcuts. This seems to be limited to the number of "hardware keys" on a PC keyboard rather than the 136,755 charcters that a UNICODE table can hold. If this sounds rediculous, just keep in mind that many installed Windows programs together utilize a huge amount of shortcuts an keystroke combinations that I don't want to interfere with XPression shortcuts under no circumstance.

I would like to make use of the many exotic UNICODE characters that will never be used in order to learn them for example on a X-Keys keyboard mapping. This would result in hundreds of unique buttons that would never interfere with any of my main keyboards keystrokes. I kow there are e. g. the F13 to F24 keys - but on one hand this is also not enough for me and on the other hand many of those keys are already in use by XPressions Global shortcuts, right?

I tried it with some exotic UNICODE characters, but the keyboard shortcut field is just showing an "M" for all those characters and does not interpret them the way it would work.

Any suggestions?

With best regards

I would recommend using shortcuts like "CTRL + 1" or "CTRL + SHIFT + M" for example. Instead of single characters.
The keyboard map will notify you if you use a keyboard shortcut that matches an existing one (default or user created).

Thank you, I already knew that :-) I have a X-Keys XK-80 keyboard. With it's 2 layers I would be able to assign a total of nearly 160 different shortcuts. Assumed that I would assign up to 160 scripted functions to them, this would be a "giant leap". Too many peaople with too many good ideas out there I guess for your developers staff. Years ago I pointed on some annoying UI behviour in XPression, but those things still persist. No offends! XPression is my favorite Live-Graphics solution, but it could be so much more. I have tons of ideas that would not be that difficult to implement/change (unlike the issue in this post). But the focus seems to be in more functions rather than consolidating/hardening the usability in the UI. Nevermind!

Regards (and greetings to Bas from the guy who pointed him to program the take-offline function to the numpad minus key ;-))
