Hi all, hope this is the right forum/thread for this question:

Just rediscovered an Omnikey Ultra-TP I had bought years ago and never used, in pristine condition (for now, I understand the switches on this model tend to deteriorate). This one has:
* Windows keys.
* A LED in the Up-Arrow key.

The ...

Well, the reason I needed to recompile, is that the pre-built ones don't run on Linux 64 bit, only on 32-bit, even after installing 32-bit compatibility libraries from the Linux distribution.
However, running Make from the first-level folder in the tools (under the "source" folder) did compile them ...

Hello again,

I'm trying to complile the Soarer's utilities for linux. I have extracted Soarer_sctools_v1.10_source.zip to a new, clean folder. In a linux terminal, I've issued "make" and the name of the Makefile in the Linux subfolder. No errors, but I'm not sure where to find the executables, or ...

I think, that's because you're not sending WIN + L to Windows, but WIN + SHIFT (because you're pressing it) + L.
I can't test it at the moment, but I would program it like this:

macro F12 LSHIFT
PUSH_META CLEAR_META LSHIFT
SET_META LGUI
PRESS L
POP_ALL_META
endmacro

P.S. Do we "mark thread closed" in this forum, and if so, how do I? Thanks.

Ended up solving the problem using ifselect:
IFSELECT 1
REMAPBLOCK
RALT RGUI
LALT LGUI
ENDBLOCK

IFSELECT ANY
REMAPBLOCK
INSERT SELECT_1
ENDBLOCK
This way, I can press AND RELEASE insert, then left-Alt becomes left-Win, right-Alt is right-Win. Advantage: I'm only pressing one of them ...

Thanks for the suggestion, JBert. I tested this. It produced no visible results that I could tell.

Okay, abandoning my previous thread, because nothing is going to make sense until I get feedback on this question, which should be straightforward and simple (admins, please remove thread at https://deskthority.net/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=20493 if you can, and thank you).

Current headache: macroblock ...

I suppose I could get by with a conditional remapblock. I know remapblock within a macro is not allowed. If I can map lgui to an F key only if the F key is shifted, or Alt-ed, that would work for me.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Trying to make sense of macro conditions:
macroblock
macro F8 alt
PRESS W
push_meta set_meta lshift
PRESS W
pop_meta
endmacro
endblock
When I press Alt+F8, in the command window (Win7), I get "wW" as expected (though not in notepad, but I'm not worrying about that right now).
macroblock
macro ...

Deleted, just to be quieter. Better info in my following post. Admins feel free to remove this.

Okay, power-cycled, back to normal.

Here's my current code:
macroblock
macro F6
MAKE LGUI
onbreak norestoremeta
BREAK LGUI
endmacro
macro F6 alt
PRESS F6
endblock
The logic: The keyboard is set up (this is internal to the keyboard, nothing to do with SC) so that the row of SF keys, default to ...

Well, now I've done it. In my enthusiasm experimenting with macros, I've coded a MAKE (some meta key, probably ctrl) without a break. So obviously, on a win7 machine, every time I hit the "L" in any application like a text editor, my screen locks out.
I've managed to edit some .sc files with valid ...

Hello all,

I've gotten great help here so far, many thanks to all!

Environment:
Northgate Omnikey Ultra (with additional "SF" keys across the top)
Soarer 1.0. firmware/tools

The additional "SF1 - SF12" keys, by default, function as Shift+F1 - Shift+F12. I was able to remap them so they send Alt ...

Many thanks, Muirium, I see the advantage in that, rather than nuking/repaving. This will keep me busy for a bit.

Thanks, that's definitely helpful, I'll start with this. As far as trial/error, how do I undo the programming? Upload an empty .sc file?

Hello all,
I'm a former programmer, but confess I have had very little exposure to programming hardware such as keyboards. Apologies in advance for my dorkiness and incorrect terminology.

I have an Omnikey Ultra (with the extra "OMNI" key on the navigation pad). What I'm trying to accomplish:
This ...
