How to have an assigned keyboard key repeat when a joystick button is held down

Post by zcaa0g »

I have a joystick button assigned to the letter c as an example. When I click on the joystick button and release it, it will type c in Windows WordPad as an example. However, if I hold the joystick button down, it won't repeat. How do I get this operation to repeat as long as I have the joystick button held down? Thanks.

You would need to have two macros:
1) Macro triggered on button DOWN: Send a DN keystroke but keep the key down. Don't send the UP.
2) Macro triggered on button UP: Send the corresponding UP keystroke.

That should work.
