Thank you Torben, and great to hear from you again! Thank you also for keeping this amazing forum up and running.

Let's keep those Fingerworks devices alive and productive!

Hi Forum, in the meantime I managed to get a nice Windows XP up and running as a virtual machine on Windows 10, see screenshot below. https://i.imgur.com/E3Ruovk.jpg I used a German Windows XP ISO that can be downloaded here: • https://archive.org/download/WindowsXPProfessionalwithServicePack3German...

Ok so I'm using CapsLock and ScrollLock now.

These keys seem to work very good for transferring commands from the iGesture Pad to AutoHotkey.

Ok so I made a list of all keyboard commands that are available in the iGesture Pad (i.e. keystrokes that the iGesture Pad can send when recognizing a gesture), see below: A-Z 1-0 Enter Escape Backspace Tab Space -=[]\# `,.;'/ CapsLock F1-F15 Right Left Up Down Home End PageUp PageDown Insert Delete...

JFTR, because I ran out of other keys, I am now trying the "StopMedia" and "NextTrack" media keys in the Fingerworks MyGesture Editor to transfer additional commands from the iGesture Pad to AutoHotkey....

Hi Ivan are you still there? I have now finally tried this approach, but if I use something like: ::x3F:: SoundPlay, Guepard.wav return ...then I first get x3F typed on the screen, then it is erased, and only then the sound is played. Therefore, I'm not sure whether using hotstrings like these will ...

How many of us are left? Does a forum still make sense? Absolutely! Please keep this forum up and running. I have half a dozen iGesture Pads lying on my shelf, and not a single one has gone defective (i.e. I'm still using the first one I bought in 2005). I would be absolutely amputated without my (...

Okay I found it. The problem was related to, and solved by "Hotkey De-Scrambling for non-US Qwerty OS Input Locales".

Hi forum, my iGesture pad suddenly sends CTRL-Y if I do the hand gesture for "Undo", and similarly, it sends CTRL-Z if I do the gesture for "Redo". This has happened to me before occasionally, but usually could be cured by rebooting. I hadn't even associated this problem with the iGesture Pad until ...

Thanks Torben!

Will keep that in mind in case one of my precious iGesture Pad's cables should break.

Cheers
David

Sorry Ivan that I did not come back to you earlier :o Somehow I seem to have missed the forum notification... While I have not yet implemented this approach, I surely will do so because the current hotkeys that I am using (like PrintScreen and Pause) keep having side effects at times. Thank you David

The assumption is that "it takes me not only two seconds (as usual), but instead like half a minute to bring it back to right-hand mode" means that there is some sort of touch and hold function that should take 2 seconds that isn't working. In that scenario, it sounds like the problem could be hard...

As an update on this, I was only going to report that in the meantime, I see the problem as follows. It can happen that I work for like a week all day long with the iGesture pad, and it doesn't confuse left and right hand mode one single time. Then, on another day, it would erroneously switch to lef...

I bought two iGesture Pads on eBay recently -- but probably not yours, because I paid much less

Cheers

Hi Ivan and thanks for the reply. If I get you right, I think that this is a great idea which should make the team of Fingerworks hardware and Autohotkey infinitely extendable... Kind of like, I make the I gesture Pad send a key sequence like "x3F&8" on a certain gesture, and my Autohotkey script co...

My RSI symptoms went away after switching to the fabulous iGesture Pad from a normal computer mouse.

Note that however I almost don't do any typing anymore, and have not done so for about a decade, thanks to NaturallySpeaking.

Cheers David.P

Just for the record, since parts of this thread seemingly have been deleted for some reason. I just ran into the same problem again, and luckily was able to find the culprit according to the title of this thread. The problem was, I was going to assign an action to the Thump+Pinky(R Spread) gestures ...

Hi forum, I already use certain keyboard keys to transfer information from the IGesture Pad to Windows applications, especially to Autohotkey, in order to trigger certain Windows actions by certain gestures. For example, I use the IGesture Pad to send "Pause" or "PrintScreen" keys when I carry out c...

Thanks -- after trying several flavors of VirtualBox and VMLite (which all did not work for some reason; I am under the impression that they are outdated and/or more or less abandoned?), I finally got everything to work with VMWare Player. There, it is actually possible to connect like anything that...

Thanks Torben! The iGesture Pad unfortunately does not even show up in the XP device manager: http://i.imgur.com/QloV8ro.png The "Virtual PC Integration Device" is something else since it does not disappear when the Fingerworks hardware is unplugged. Again -- the iGesture Pad does work in the virtua...

Also here, the link to an old Java version that I just installed in a "XP mode" Windows virtual machine on Win7 64bit, in order to be able to run the Fingerworks Utilities: http://www.oldapps.com/java.php?old_java=10 However, there's still the problem that the Fingerworks hardware is not recognized ...

Thanks for your inputs Dustin, Or, when you're tense and not specifically trying to fix the issue, your thumb curls and then number 2 could cause the problem. For two reasons, I don't think #2 can be the cause for the problem. First the hand swap happens thousands of times after scrolling (with four...

Thanks Dustin, will come back to you as soon as I can take the time needed to think about and comment on all of your additional, important inputs.

Cheers David.P

:) I swear that the feature from hell just now struck me after the following gesture sequence: 1.) Selecting some text in Word with the single finger point/drag gesture (that double-clicks, holds and enables drag-selecting afterwards), 2.) Copying the selected text with the two finger copy gesture (...
