I'm sorry to hear that. I know HotkeyNet looks very technical and intimidating. Eventually I hope to add some easy point-and-click screens so people can set things up without turning themselves into programmers. But the current version is tough unless you're a bit of a geek. I regret it, but that's how it is.Originally Posted by 'jheinn',index.php?page=Thread&postID=120160#post1 20160
If you mean HotkeyNet's password, as long as you're using a router, you don't need to use that. I never bother.Originally Posted by 'jheinn',index.php?page=Thread&postID=120160#post1 20160
Let me tell you my trick for preventing this kind of headache. Actually it's not a trick, it's just how programmers do everything.Originally Posted by 'jheinn',index.php?page=Thread&postID=120160#post1 20160
Start with something incredibly simple. The simplest, tiniest thing you can. With HotkeyNet, that would be one hotkey that sends one keystroke. Get that to work. How hard can it be to get one keystroke to work? Not hard. Somebody will tell you how to do it on a forum.
Then add another little bit. By now you see the pattern. Now you can add a lot of keystrokes.
Then add another kind of feature. Add things one at a time.
The advantage of adding one small thing at a time is that if it doesn't work, you know exactly what you did wrong. The reason people get frustrated is usually because they try to do 50 different things at once. Then when the result doesn't work, they have no idea what to change to fix it.
