# Sequences
|
||||
|
||||
Sequences are used for sending multiple keystrokes in a single action, and can
|
||||
be used for things like Unicode characters (even emojis! 🇨🇦), _Lorem ipsum_
|
||||
generators, triggering side effects (think lighting, speakers,
|
||||
microcontroller-optimized cryptocurrency miners, whatever). If you are still
|
||||
unsure of what this is, most other vendors call these "Macros", but can do much
|
||||
more if you wish.
|
||||
|
||||
## Sending strings
|
||||
The most basic sequence is `send_string`. It can be used to send any standard
|
||||
English alphabet character, and an assortment of other "standard" keyboard keys
|
||||
(return, space, exclamation points, etc.)
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from kmk.handlers.sequences import send_string
|
||||
|
||||
WOW = send_string("Wow, KMK is awesome!")
|
||||
|
||||
keyboard.keymap = [<other keycodes>, WOW, <other keycodes>]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Key sequences
|
||||
If you need to add modifier keys to your sequence, instead of `send_string` use
|
||||
`simple_key_sequence`. While it's not as visually clean as `send_string`, you can
|
||||
use it to add things like copying/pasting, tabbing between fields, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from kmk.handlers.sequences import simple_key_sequence
|
||||
|
||||
PASTE_WITH_COMMENTARY = simple_key_sequence(
|
||||
(
|
||||
KC.L,
|
||||
KC.O,
|
||||
KC.O,
|
||||
KC.K,
|
||||
KC.SPC,
|
||||
KC.A,
|
||||
KC.T,
|
||||
KC.SPC,
|
||||
KC.T,
|
||||
KC.H,
|
||||
KC.I,
|
||||
KC.S,
|
||||
KC.COLN,
|
||||
KC.SPC,
|
||||
KC.LCTL(KC.V),
|
||||
)
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
keyboard.keymap = [<other keycodes>, PASTE_WITH_COMMENTARY, <other keycodes>]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The above example will type out "look at this: " and then paste the contents of your
|
||||
clipboard.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Sleeping within a sequence
|
||||
|
||||
If you need to wait during a sequence, you can use `KC.MACRO_SLEEP_MS(ms)` to wait a
|
||||
length of time, in milliseconds.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from kmk.handlers.sequences import simple_key_sequence
|
||||
|
||||
COUNTDOWN_TO_PASTE = simple_key_sequence(
|
||||
(
|
||||
KC.N3,
|
||||
KC.ENTER,
|
||||
KC.MACRO_SLEEP_MS(1000),
|
||||
KC.N2,
|
||||
KC.ENTER,
|
||||
KC.MACRO_SLEEP_MS(1000),
|
||||
KC.N1,
|
||||
KC.ENTER,
|
||||
KC.MACRO_SLEEP(1000),
|
||||
KC.LCTL(KC.V),
|
||||
)
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
keyboard.keymap = [<other keycodes>, COUNTDOWN_TO_PASTE, <other keycodes>]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
from kmk.handlers.sequences import simple_key_sequence
|
||||
|
||||
NEXT = simple_key_sequence(
|
||||
(
|
||||
KC.LALT(no_release=True),
|
||||
KC.MACRO_SLEEP_MS(30),
|
||||
KC.TAB,
|
||||
KC.MACRO_SLEEP_MS(30),
|
||||
KC.LALT(no_press=True),
|
||||
)
|
||||
)
|
||||
|
||||
This example will type out the following, waiting one second (1000 ms) between numbers:
|
||||
|
||||
3
|
||||
2
|
||||
1
|
||||
|
||||
and then paste the contents of your clipboard.
|
||||
|
||||
### Alt Tab with delay
|
||||
|
||||
If alt tab isn't working because it requires a delay, adding a delay and triggering
|
||||
down and up on ALT manually may fix the issue.
|
||||
|
||||
``` python
|
||||
from kmk.handlers.sequences import simple_key_sequence
|
||||
|
||||
NEXT = simple_key_sequence(
|
||||
(
|
||||
KC.LALT(no_release=True),
|
||||
KC.MACRO_SLEEP_MS(30),
|
||||
KC.TAB,
|
||||
KC.MACRO_SLEEP_MS(30),
|
||||
KC.LALT(no_press=True),
|
||||
)
|
||||
)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Unicode
|
||||
Before trying to send Unicode sequences, make sure you set your `UnicodeMode`.
|
||||
You can set an initial value in your keymap by setting `keyboard.unicode_mode`.
|
||||
|
||||
Keys are provided to change this mode at runtime - for example, `KC.UC_MODE_LINUX`.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Unicode Modes:
|
||||
On Linux, Unicode uses `Ctrl-Shift-U`, which is supported by `ibus` and GTK+3.
|
||||
`ibus` users will need to add `IBUS_ENABLE_CTRL_SHIFT_U=1` to their environment
|
||||
(`~/profile`, `~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc`, or through your desktop environment's
|
||||
configurator).
|
||||
|
||||
On Windows, [WinCompose](https://github.com/samhocevar/wincompose) is required.
|
||||
|
||||
- Linux : `UnicodeMode.LINUX` or `UnicodeMode.IBUS`
|
||||
- Mac: `UnicodeMode.MACOS` or `UnicodeMode.OSX` or `UnicodeMode.RALT`
|
||||
- Windows: `UnicodeMode.WINC`
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Unicode Examples
|
||||
|
||||
To send a simple Unicode symbol
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from kmk.handlers.sequences import unicode_string_sequence
|
||||
|
||||
FLIP = unicode_string_sequence('(ノಠ痊ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻')
|
||||
|
||||
keyboard.keymap = [<other keycodes>, FLIP, <other keycodes>]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
If you'd rather keep a lookup table of your sequences (perhaps to bind emojis to
|
||||
keys), that's supported too, through an obnoxiously long-winded method:
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from kmk.handlers.sequences import compile_unicode_string_sequences as cuss
|
||||
|
||||
emoticons = cuss({
|
||||
'BEER': r'🍺',
|
||||
'HAND_WAVE': r'👋',
|
||||
})
|
||||
|
||||
keymap = [<other keycodes>, emoticons.BEER, emoticons.HAND_WAVE, <other keycodes>]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> The observant will notice dot-notation is supported here despite feeding in a
|
||||
> dictionary - the return of `compile_unicode_string_sequences` is a
|
||||
> `kmk.types.AttrDict`, which you can think of as a read-only view over a
|
||||
> dictionary adding attribute-based (dot-notation) access.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, if you need to send arbitrary Unicode codepoints in raw form, that's
|
||||
supported too, through `unicode_codepoint_sequence`.
|
||||
|
||||
```python
|
||||
from kmk.handlers.sequences import unicode_codepoint_sequence
|
||||
|
||||
TABLE_FLIP = unicode_codepoint_sequence([
|
||||
"28", "30ce", "ca0", "75ca","ca0", "29",
|
||||
"30ce", "5f61", "253b", "2501", "253b",
|
||||
])
|
||||
|
||||
keyboard.keymap = [<other keycodes>, TABLE_FLIP, <other keycodes>]
|
||||
```
