Logitech keyboard "poewr" typo problem fixed

22 Aug 2020, 09:48

This has got to be one of the most beautiful scripts for users of Logitech K800 keyboard (also other keyboards with the same problem).

When typing very quickly "power" (holding p, o, w, e down simultaneously), the result is incorrect, for example poewr, even if buttons were pressed down in absolutely correct order. I think this has to do with keyboard manufacturers saving costs by combining horizontal rows of letters on the same circuitry in an insufficient way. This script seems to fix this problem pretty well!

Code: Select all

:*?:poewr::power ; Hotstring replacement from poewr to power (K800 can't handle simultaneous keypress for "power")
:*?:poerw::power ; * means apply right after last letter (as opposed to after an ending character)
:?:poer::power ; ? means other leading characters are allowed (but wait for an ending character if * not defined)
