SterlingKey™ Forum

Hey there!
As I have been using the device to work with my tablet and laptop, the Sterlingkey has turned out to be quite useful simply as a keyboard switch, to go back and fort between devices.
The recent update adding the option to skip a ¨slot¨ when shifting through the device rotation has made this use better, and I´d like to propose one further feature that would make it better:
Could the device be made to respond to specific keypresses or key combinations to force the rotation onto the next device? or to jump to specific ones?
Just came to my mind as a useful function, don´t known if it´d be easy or hard, or even possible, but just putting it out there.
Thanks for the ongoing firmware updates!

Hey!

That's one feature that has been asked a lot. I'm still thinking about if I should implement it or not. Basically currently I'm not decoding the commands from the keyboard at all, and I'm passing them straight to the bluetooth. That makes it faster and is less prone to error, since not all keyboards are the same as you must have noticed. I'm not sure if I can have a shortcut that works with all keyboards without proper decoding of the commands.

I can set up a tool where you will be able to press the shortcut that you want to set by yourself. It will take some time to implement and test, but I'll add it to my todo list if that's something that would help you.

Thank you for the support!
