very newbie question

hi,

so you want to do is if you hit 'p' on the keyboard nothing happen. if you hit 'l' as the next key (or within a certain time) you want to start winamp?

I don't think you can do that with button mode.
To do that you need to setup a command that reacts on 'l' but is disabled by default. A second one, reacting on 'p' is enabled by default and just enables the 'l' command.
The problem is to disable the 'l' command again. You could either start a timer in the 'p' multigroup and disable 'l' once the timer is run down.
Or you could create a command for each key on the keyboard (other than 'p' or 'l') that disables 'l' again. (don't forget to disable 'l' at the end of 'l''s multigroup :wink:

ron: how about a filtered event thing? using regular expressions :wink:

get the buttonmode action plugin

I just downloaded Girder and have set up a few nice things with winamp. I am currently using my keyboard as the input device, until my IRman comes. When I learn an event, I can only put in 1 keystroke. How can I change this so that 2 buttons makes something happen? This will be neccesary when I get the IRman.

I just downloaded the buttonmode plug-in, but I am not sure that it does what I want. I want to be able to send a code like "1 2 3" and have that interpreted by girder. Girder only allows me to capture one button such as "1".

maybe I did not install the buttonmode plug-in coorectly. I put the folder in my plug-insoftware folder, and copied the dll as well. Then I checked the box under settings. Is this correct?

Is my question to dumb to answer? Am I missing something obvious, or did I not explain my problem clearly enough?

Instead of having girder learn 1 keystroke as an input, I want it to learn 2 keystrokes.

So instead of hitting "P" and having Winamp play, I want to hit "P" then "L" and then have winamp play.

If I had an IRman would this be easier doing it with a remote?

I would imagine there would have to be a way for girder to accept two commands (from a remote) before doing the action.

The end result for me is to create a winamp jukebox. I will have girder open winamp's "open folder". Then when I enter a 3 digit number on my remote, girder will open the correct album in winamp.

But I still don't know how I can enter a 3 digit command on the remote, that girder will recognize.
