Key Mapping Option for Topofusion?
« on: September 20, 2010, 06:09:40 PM »
Hi,

I think a nice feature if possible would be a Key Mapping that can be Customizable.

I have a Tablet PC besides a Laptop and the Tablet has Arrow keys and Numeric Keys and that is it, and while you can use the pen to pan and zoom, it would be nice to ADD a key to a specific function. Not where you have to change the original keys, but at Alternate setting.

I would like to see Keymaping for Zoom and Tile prefrences like Color or MyTopo viewing. Basically I REALLY need the Zoom in and Out if I could map to lets say 1 and 4 then I could zoom in and out without using the pen and save time as the Arrow keys already move left and right. Also I would like to See mapping for Elevation 3D and Over or Grids toggle.

Hope this is possible,


Also I hope you still plan to add Satelite tracking for Signal Stength and Bars like I suggested similar to WinFast Navigator?

Thanks

I can think about it, but I think it may be more effective for people that want to remap keys to simply take matters into their own hands.  Have a look for other software that does this and let us know if you find anything suitable.

If not, I'll consider adding it -- but it seems like a pretty specialized/esoteric feature that not too many people will be interested in taking the time to dig into.

True, but mapping 2 keys for the zoom would be great. Already pg up and down do that so 2 and 0 would work for Tablets otherwise all Tablets that are rugged would have issues with the Zoom.

I looked for software and none of it connects to using your software, its mainly for windows functions. No keymapping is fine as long as the zoom can have another alternate mapped number while still keeping the pg up and pg down.

I agree that being able to map the two zoom keys would be very handy.  Not quite sure what to do when the keys people want conflict with other keys in use, but perhaps they just override.  I'll see what I can do.

Fixed is fine, if you make it fixed that those 2 numbers also equal Zoom in and out that would work also. I dont have to have Keymapping if its too complicated, I just need Zoom in and Out for the Keypad because of the way Tablets are.
