Kinesis FSMJ4 Savant Elite Programmable Foot Pedal - Manual (Page 8)

Two types of macros may NOT be stored in a single pedal. These are (1) combinations of
keyboard and mouse button actions, and (2) multiple mouse button actions (e.g. double
click).
Advanced features include the following:
- Pre-combined modifiers. If you frequently use combinations like Shift-Ctrl left arrow, you
can reduce strain and effort by programing a pedal to perform the awkward Shift-Ctrl portion
of the key combination. However, this is not supported on a Macintosh (modifiers on one
input device cannot modify another in the OS X operating system).
- Complete modifier macros. Even on a Macintosh system you may perform dedicated
combinations like Shift-Ctrl left arrow and Shift-Ctrl-right arrow.
- Repeating key actions. Normally single keys actions programmed into the foot switch will
repeat if the pedal is held down, with the same repeat delay and speed as on a keyboard. If a
macro (multiple keystrokes) is programmed, it will also repeat if the pedal is held down, but
at a slower rate which is not affected by the keyboard repeat delay & rate set in the control
panel. These features may be changed using special commands.
- Slow output. If normal programmed output from the foot switch is too fast for the
computer, “slow output” can be selected.
- Inserting “delays” between keystrokes. The foot switch can be programmed with one or
more 0.5 second delays.
- Separate press/release commands. For special applications, you can send a “press key” or
“release key” only, or you can program “press key” actions separately from “release key”
actions.
- Setting “Capslock remembered during playback.” Use this feature if you want a macro to
always play back in the same Capslock mode in which it was programmed.
Status LEDs
On the front of the electronics enclosure (facing the user) are two light emitting diodes
(LEDs) which indicate the status of the device. When the green LED is illuminated steadily,
the unit is operating correctly in “play mode.” If the Green LED is flashing, the unit is in
“programming mode.” If the red LED is on, the device is not working correctly (see the
chapter on “Troubleshooting and Technical Support”).
