Using JoyToKey-Software: I need advice how to configure a button for multipurpose

[Calafati]

Hi there,

 

From the past I learnt that at least a few of you are experienced with the JTK-software (my setup is still one big monitor in landscape mode)

During the last months I succeeded in completing nearly the whole whish list of my most used and few more nice to have buttons and functions via JTK, so that now - once VPX runs, I can control nearly 100% of the functions I need with my DIY pinball controller. This includes mute, screenshot, table reset, pause and so on...

 

There remains only one but big last wish and I don´t know how to set up the configuration in JTK: I have one button which normally opens the Tweak menue. Once opened I can turn pages and change options using flipper buttons and magnasave buttons. This same button should receive a second function (if pressed longer): as my normal PC keyboard does not have a FN-button and the corresponding multi-function-use of the F-buttons, I decided to install a setup for general work with my computer,  which allows to change the volume with the mouse wheel while the (left) ALT-Button is pressed.

 

But I am missing (or am I simply overlooking it?) the following option in JTK: already on the Keyboard(Multi) page and with a configured treshold (in my case 500ms) for Input 1 and Input 2 I now don´t know where to define the difference between a "pressed button" and a "hold down button". My goal: a short press should open/close the Tweak Menue, and a press longer 500 ms should simulate a hold down ALT-button so that I can configure the Volume with the mouse wheel, ending the whole by releasing the button.

 

Many thanks in advance for your good advice as ever

Greetings from Germany

Klaus
