I'm having the most difficult time trying to do something which is very basic. I feel a bit stupid that I can't figure out how to do this. I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction.
Basically, I want to map the 4 directional arrow keys on the remote (streamzap) to the 4 arrows keys on the PC keyboard ( for a specific application) At first I tried to do this for the Notepad application, as a proof as concept.
I experienced some initial success. I can get special keys, such as ALT F4 ( close window ) to work. I can also get mouse move to work, and window move, moves the notepad window.So I know that I am targeting the right window, and I also know that the remote is successfully sending commands to girder. However, I just can't get the special keys -UP,DOWN, LEFT or RIGHT to work. I'm expecting that pressing these keys on the remote would emulate the arrow keys on the PC keyboard for a targeted application window. I also tried targeting other application windows, but in each case the arrow keys seem to be ignored by the target application. Checking the 'Alterative Proc' check box does not make a difference.
Any guidance would be appreciated. I have spent two days on this so far, and feel a but frustrated that I can't figure it out.
Thanks.
