Kinesis FSMJ4 Savant Elite Programmable Foot Pedal - Manual (Page 16)

Mouse click choices - what is possible?
The are two ways to perform mouse clicks with the foot switch. Which method you decide to
use depends on your operating system, how you use your keyboard, and what kind of mouse
actions you want to assign to the foot switch. The keyboard is factory programmed to
perform the built-in mouse click emulation.
True mouse click emulation using Windows 2000 through Windows 7
In Windows 2000 and XP, special mouse-click actions can be programmed to the foot switch.
Once programmed, these actions will also operate in newer versions of Windows. No special
drivers are required for the pedal to perform these mouse click actions, which include left
click, right click, middle click (which usually performs scrolling), and self-scrolling up and
down. The latter is like a partial PageDown or PageUp action, moving the screen a few lines
up or down with every press of the pedal. Please note that a double-click action is not
possible using this approach.
Mouse click emulation (including double click) using "Mouskeys"
(Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Unix)
"Mousekeys" converts numeric keypad actions to perform mouse button and mouse
directional actions, and is provided in all major operating systems. The most common usage
of Mousekeys is for the "keypad 5" to perform a left mouse button action, and a macro
performing a double "keypad 5" will perform a mouse double-click action. In Windows, you
will find Mousekeys in the Control Panel under"Accessibility Options." For Macintosh OS X,
look in System Preferences, "Universal Access."
Potential disadvantages of this approach are that (1) you need a numeric keypad in order to
program the foot switch, and (2) the numeric keypad may no longer be available to perform
its traditional numbers when Mousekeys is active.
To use the Savant Elite foot switch to perform a left button double-click under Mousekeys,
program two "keypad-5" actions to a pedal before Mousekeys is activated. It may take some
experimentation with the mouse double-click timing (see "mouse" in control panel) for the
double click to work properly.
Programming true mouse click actions
On a computer running Windows 2000 or Windows XP and with the programming driver
installed and Savant Elite foot switch connected, move the slide switch to programming mode
and tap the first pedal to be re-programmed. Now type on your keyboard one of the following
key sequences:
Left mouse button: Esc b 1
Hold Esc, tap b, then tap 1 in the number row, and finally release Esc. Tap the pedal again
