Asus notebook keys, v1.3

[NP_]

Can you make the turbo gear button have a separate function when fn is held down?

Unfortunately, no I have to rewrite whole functionality of Asus's ATK0100 driver in order just to try catch Fn key or read state of some other additional keys of notebook.

Dang. Oh Well

any thoughts on open sourcing the project?

Hehe, thanks for the effort, NP, the main program starts without errors, and I was able to remap every key successfully except for the media control keys (the power button worked flawlessly). The media control buttons (play, pause etc) did not react for your program to recognize them, but I must inform you, that I had to remove the ATKMedia program for Asus yesterday, so I tried your program without that one. I suppose if I reinstall it, everything should work fine... or should the program work without the Asus one?

Hey, great job NP !!

A small bug I noticed on my W3J .. When hotkeys are locked (Win + Space), the bluetooth button (on right hand side of the notebook) is still functional. Although the blue icon doesn't appear on the top left of the screen, the bluetooth radio still toggles on and off.

Cheers !

I'll share the sources this week. Keep an eye on this topic.

My nb has no play\pause\etc buttons to test this bug with.
Btw, my program is fully based on Asus's ATKACPI driver. This driver produces all that events and event codes. I don't know what's the problem.

Haven't u forget to select ("[√] Keystroke:") event for that keys in AsusNbKeysCtrl? They are not set automatically.

Anybody with G1S, please try to bind media control keys and share the results.

This is hardware-controlled key. The same thing is for Fn+(F5...F8) keys also.
I can control only software-controlled keys via ATK0100 driver (hardware-controlled key's events are used just to notify sysem of corresponding events).

Anyone having troubles with the program after sleep\hibernate?

Anyone having troubles with the program after sleep\hibernate?

Yes, the program gets disabled on sleep. I have to kill the process and start it again

Please try this version and report what's about the bug: http://rapidshare.com/files/47375105...bKeys_v1.2.zip

Great utility, I am excited to see it. I have a G1S and can confirm that the media keys such as play/stop/ffw/rwd do not capture an event code. The keys at the top left do work however. Power Profile/Mail/Touchpad Control all get an event control.

One can suppose that these buttons do work some different way than ATK0100. They won't be accessible to AsusNbKeys...
