Girder tools
Version 1.100
-------------


Installation:
-------------
None required, extract executables and put them some place safe.
Associate buttons on your remote devices to execute the tools (KB uses parameters 0-9).


Using:
------
AT
Unlike sending Keyboard: Alt+Tab (switches to previous task), this one keeps ALT holding for 1500ms. If you manage to press the hot button again in time, another TAB is pressed and the timer resets to 1500ms. The ALT is released after timeout. So basically you just need to know you have 1,5 seconds to press button again and choose another task you want to switch to. One little advice: use anti-repeat for at least 300ms (PC might go crazy if an exe is executed too many times in a row).


KB
This little utility enables you to write letters and numbers from within 10-button device. Just keep launching this application with parameter (0-9) again and again and the input letter will keep changing - like Multi-tap on cell phone. Eg. you press number two 5 times and the typed character will be: A B C 2 => A. You have exactly 1500ms to change the character, or selected one will be entered.
It is perfect for those who want to have some ICQ chat on TV :). This tool doesn't support localized alphabets, only lowercased basic letters and numbers. Because of locale problems, I've been forced to simplify inserting an questionmark by Windows' Clipboard's Paste command. Other letters are typed by simulating keypresses.
I also recommend setting remote's button 0 to Backspace for correcting mistakes.

Special layouts (different from general phone layouts):
	0: 0 . , ? - (space zero dot comma questionmark hypen)
	1: 1 . , ? -
	9: W X Y Z 9 0
