Direct Key Mode

serapath

Hey Hey,

I still don't understand "Direct Key Mode" well.
It seems i can only use that mode or the chording mode of twiddler. Is that really true?

I was hoping that you could switch the twiddler between those modes using the twiddler itself.
Or to configure specific keys as "direct input" mode, so that i could e.g. navigate a character in a 3D world using arrow keys or WASD ...but also to use e.g. "shift resizing" when using image editing software.

It seems quite unfortunate if it is true that no real "direct key input" is possible.
How do people do with this situation? Just using "direct key mode" where you have only 12 keys seems no solution at all, because how can you even, e.g. add a text in an image using photoshop, when image resize needs direct mode to e.g. "shift resize", but typing the text needs the full alphabet and other characters as well depending on the text you want to type?

It would be cool if an extra "sticky key" could be used to enable/disable the "direct key mode" or even multiple "stick keys, maybe activated by a chord using only Thumb and the F0 keys to turn the F1-4 keys into different kinds of "direct key mode" fields.

So you could add all the "direct key" inputs you need and still have the variety of otherwise normal chorded input available to you as well

Its config specific. There are 3 custom config slots. So, use the default config for regular typing and config slot 1 for your Direct Key mode. Use config slot 2 for your Sticky Key mode. Then cycle between them as needed.
