Description
KeyPlayerGui provides a window interface to KeyPlayer, see examples there.
The keys that have associated actions are shown colored in KeyPlayerGui.
Meta control commands available from alt-key shortcuts:
- alt-R toggles RECORDING
- alt-P toggles KeyLoop PLAYBACK
- alt-L toggles LOOPED on/off
- alt-F FORKS a (non-looped) task - playOnce
- alt-G GUI opens for the KeyLoop
- alt-T TOP focus goes to top control that sets current KeyPlayer
Notes:
Several aspects of this class could be made more flexible: supporting different display sizes, keyboard layouts, and ways of switching between several KeyPlayers may be useful. (current the useList options gives one choice.
Dragging and dropping actions could also be supported; not sure how to do that consistently with keyUp actions, retriggering, putting things on shifted keys, etc.
Maybe alt-1..9,0 could go to one of top ten KeyPlayers on buttons.
