E:D tool to autofill config with secondary keyboard inputs?
« on: October 09, 2017, 03:44:54 AM »
hello there,

since VA requires keyboard strokes to work with elite... i there a tool where i can import my elite config and it inserts random alternate keyboard keys?
yes i'm lazy in this case, and i thought i've seen something like that a while ago, but i can't find it again, or i misunderstood it.

thanks in advance,
T

Not sure what you mean by
inserts random alternate keyboard keys?
But there is this plugin, which should parse your Elite: Dangerous .binds file to VoiceAttack variables, that you can then use in command actions(E.G. for sending keypresses).

Ah, now I understand why you'd want random keybinds assigned.

The misunderstanding is on my side in that case, as, yes, you'd still need to set up keybinds for the functions you want ingame for bindED to work.
As the game doesn't offer a more direct way(I.E. an API) for triggering actions, VoiceAttack must send keyboard buttons instead.
